Event Details
Join Rev. Wendy in a workshop based around this year’s UU Common Read “On Repentance and Repair” by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg. As relational beings, we need one another. As humans, we relate imperfectly. Few among us were taught how to genuinely apologize or heal a relationship. Certainly, public figures in our culture offer mostly regrettable examples. And yet, most of us have one or more relationships which need work. On Repentance and Repair offers a glimpse into one of our faith’s foundational sources, Judaism. It invites readers to explore practices for accountability that can bring us into wholeness and really make a different in our personal, community, and national relationships. Sign Up Link
