Wisdom & Coffee: Tikkun Olam as Toxic Compassion?

At Passover, we remember that we were slaves in Egypt and that God brought us out of slavery. From this we might draw two conclusions: (1) we must be careful when we are powerful never to become like the Egyptians and (2) we must be powerful enough to never let anyone else treat us the way that Egypt did. Where do the values of compassion and justice collide, and how might we find a balance in offering compassion and in self-preservation?

Offered monthly and including a great breakfast, Wisdom and Coffee provides an opportunity for learning and conversation on a Shabbat morning that is entirely separate from our prayer service. Participants may choose to dress casually and come just for the Wisdom and Coffee, or they may stay for the Shabbat service as well.

Coffee and a special breakfast will be served.
