Lesson 4 of the JLI "Beyond Right" Course on
"Beyond Personal Freedom".
What does it really mean to be free? Is a life of religious observance compatible with personal freedom?
This lesson teaches that the Jewish definition of freedom is living the life we were created to live, a life of devotion to G-d as our one true Master. To achieve this, humans must be free of enslavement to human masters, and this is why Judaism was always—and continues to be—ahead of its time in prohibiting slavery and imprisonment for the purpose of repaying debts.
Jewish law is also wary of the compromised freedom of employees and, to this end, goes further than other modern legal systems
in protecting the right of employees to quit mid-contract without penalty.

Rabbi Eli Feldman on G-D, "His expectations", class 4 of 6 class course on G_D
Tonight’s class @ 7:30pm
Topic - His Expectations
Let’s discuss G-d’s expectations of us:
Do I have to believe in G-d to be Jewish? What if I have doubts about G-d?
Do I need to fear G-d? That doesn’t sound very appealing!
Lastly, I’m okay with believing in G-d, but I’m not religious. Can I still have a relationship with Him?
You can either attend in person at Newtown Shul Hall or watch Live online here on my Facebook Page ?
