What We Leave for the Poor
Thursday, April 23 | 3 p.m. ET
The Torah commands us to leave the corners of the field for the stranger, the widow, and the orphan. But most of us aren’t farmers today. In this class, explore the values behind this practice, what it says about our obligations to the vulnerable, and what fulfilling this mitzvah might look like in today’s society. Offered by our partners at LA’ASOK. |
