For our next series of Monday Night Learning for Times of Uncertainty and Challenge, we will explore The Two Most Important Principles in the Torah: Love your Neighbor as Yourself, and Humanity Being made in the Image of God. Our learning, over the five sessions, will explore both the concepts of V’ahavtah L’reachah Kamocha (loving our fellow as ourselves) and B’tzelem Elohim (human beings created in the image of God).

As the global pandemic continues, these sessions will support us to cultivate love and care for our neighbours, our community, and all of humanity. The sessions will build on each other from fortnight to fortnight, as we deepen into our exploration of how to relate outwards from a place of self-love and commitment to Torah.

On Monday 26th October Rabbi Benji will teach on radical, world-changing implications of the Biblical Concept of Being in the Image of God, both in Biblical times and now. We will focus particularly on Bereishit (Genesis), and further expressions of the idea in the Torah, and also touch upon the particular power of the concept in its near-eastern context.
