Using Conflict to Build Community

A Text Study of Leviticus and Rabbinic Commentaries

Identity & Responsibility, Text & Thought

Through text study of Leviticus 19:17-18 and rabbinic commentaries, we look at the connection between "loving your neighbor as yourself" and tochecha - holding one another accountable. We'll take real-life ethical delimmas and use Jewish teachings to deepen insights into the question of when is rebuke appropriate?

In 20 minutes they teach and explain their choice. Will it be Torah, Midrash, or Gemara? A painting, a poem, a song lyric? Or something unexpected?
