Talmud Class: The Power of Inclusion




From the Bimah: Jewish Lessons for Life show

Summary: <p>If there's one lesson of this coming Shabbat, it is that life is not a solo sport - we are better when we are together - all of us. That applies to leadership - Yitro teaches Moses to include others as leaders. That applies to family - Moses listens to Yitro, including him in decision making. And that applies to community - when our ancestors gathered at Sinai, they spoke together as one, including all.</p> <p>We are holy when we are one. We are stronger when we are one. We are better when "we" is truly inclusive of all!</p> <p>This week at our Talmud Class we have the privilege of learning in conversation with a true expert on how to get inclusion right, Shelly Christensen, co-founder of Jewish Disabilities Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (JDAIM). She will be teaching us, “From Longing to Belonging: How wisdom from Isaiah gives us God’s definition of inclusion.”</p> <p>Click <a href="https://files.constantcontact.com/d3875897501/8376dc95-f49a-49b7-9393-44cf7f2060a9.pdf?rdr=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> for texts.</p>
