Does Jewish Tradition Require Us to Forgive?


"Forgive and forget," the saying goes -- but is it always wrong to hold a grudge?

What wrongs -- if any -- are truly unforgivable?

 
Join us to explore these questions Friday, May 23.

We will share a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, eat, laugh, and learn. All are welcome.

Time: 6:15 PM
Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station
Childcare: available by reservation

After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:

6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Rabbi Bridget Wynne will lead a lively interactive teaching on Jewish teachings on forgiveness, and how we might -- or might not -- apply them to our lives
8:30 - Dessert and schmoozing (time to hang out and chat)

Space is limited, so RSVP is required.

 
Please contact Rabbi Bridget Wynne at Jewish Gateways, (510) 559-8140, or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org, for more information, and to make a reservation and get directions and your food assignment. If your schedule doesn't allow you to bring a dish to share, we offer you the option of contributing $7 toward the dinner.
