You won’t want to miss the continuation of this unique educational experience with our very own profound educator Betzy Lynch!

Looking in Other People’s Windows (Envy) | Wednesday, December 4
Where does envy originate? Does it always have to be bad? Is there anything you can learn about yourself from being envious of others? While enjoying a tasty lunch, these are just a few of the questions we will explore as a community as we unpack our own relationship with envy.

Justice / Charity / Tzedakah | Wednesday, December 11
What is the relationship between charity and justice? In what ways are we all constantly benefiting from others, and are we cognizant of what we are receiving from others? During this session, we will partake in a delectable dinner and delve into the act of giving charity, how we ourselves receive charity, and how human dignity fits into all of it.

Conflict Resolution | Wednesday, December 18
What makes it possible to create space for people who disagree with each other to sit together in mutual respect, believing in the value of each other? How does one cultivate “humility in the presence of views widely divergent from our own”? In the final session of Part 2, we will lunch & learn and explore the vulnerability necessary for conflict resolution and how we can tap into that in ourselves.
