What does equality mean? For example, men and women are equal, but are they the same? The Torah says that God created mankind – both male and female – in His own image. This means that all people are equal, and entitled to respect. How do we deal with differences while preserving equality, freedom and human dignity for everyone? Students may suggest additional subjects for discussion that are related.

At every stage of life we encounter new and unexpected situations. Sometimes we know how to react, but often we struggle to find the proper response, particularly as we transition from high school. In a new-found independence after high school, we find ourselves having many new experiences; our Jewish tradition has much to offer in terms of guiding us through these. Hazzan Ben Tisser will offer very real-life situations, and students will have the opportunity to learn, discuss, and debate what our tradition has to say.
