SUMMARY:What Does It Really Mean to Love Your Neighbor?
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members; $10 for non-members \nEvery religion teaches some form of “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The first question we must answer is: What is love?

Join in for an interactive session unpacking the Golden Rule. \nAbout the presenter: Barbara Symons graduated from the University of Michigan and was ordained by Hebrew Union College in 1994. She currently serves as the rabbi of Temple Beth-El of City Island and the Reform Temple of Putnam Valley\, is author of Prophetic Voices: Renewing and Reimagining Haftarah (CCAR Press)\, and is proud to be the Rabbi Emerita of Temple David Temple David in Monroeville\, Pennsylvania following her 18 year tenure.
