 ce"\n\nWith Dr. Jeffrey L. Rubenstein\n\nTo view the video recording of th
 e lecture click HERE\n\nThe Talmud is rich with stories of rabbis and othe
 r figures who faltered\, sinned\, and sought repentance. Though these narr
 atives emerge from distant times and unfamiliar cultural settings\, they c
 ontinue to speak to the human experience. What do these tales teach us abo
 ut the nature of T'shuvah—repentance and return? Can we uncover enduring
  wisdom about moral growth\, accountability\, and the pursuit of atonement
 ?\n\nJoin us as we explore these ancient texts to discover how their insig
 hts still resonate with our personal and communal journeys today.\n\nDr. J
