Description
Join us as we take a unique look at Matthew 22:36-40, Deuteronomy 6:4-7 and Leviticus 19:18 to gain insight into the many loves that are necessary for a healthy and stable world. What is love of God, love of self and love of neighbor that Jesus speaks about? What is love from a Jewish perspective through the praying and living of the Shema? And in both cases, what does God seek in return from us? The connections between the saying of Jesus and the Shema will make for a fascinating and illuminating discussion.
