Five Thursday mornings with Rabbi Meir
Starting Thursday, January 10, 11am
Whether we're asking life's biggest questions (why are we here, what is our purpose, the horror of evil, our mortal essence) or remembering fondly our university studies of history's most important thinkers, join Rabbi Meir in our study of Martin Buber and Emanuel Levinas. This journey into the lives and minds of two of our greatest 20th Century, Jewish thinkers will be enriching and uplifting.
We will focus on the following texts, all of which are available on-line.
Martin Buber, The Way of Man (http://www.pendlehill.org/ images/pamphlets/php106.pdf)
Martin Buber, Hasidism and Modern Man (The Way of Man is included in this book), http://www.amazon.com/ Hasidism-Modern-Man-Martin- Buber/dp/1573924601
Emanuel Levinas, Nine Talmudic Readings, http://www.amazon. com/Nine-Talmudic-Readings- Emmanuel-Levinas/dp/0253208769
Please try to read The Way of Man (at the above link) for the first class.
Happy New Year to all,
Meir
