Lessons from “On Repentance and Repair”

, , ,

Last spring, a number of members of JRUUC read and discussed Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg’s provocative book On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. The book is a framework for making amends offered by the 12th century Jewish physician and scholar, Maimonides. The workshop discussions focused on amends in our lives and relationships, in our covenanted communities, and in the world at large. Today, we will hear several participants offer reflections and takeaways from the book and discussions.  [Image Credit: Lilith]
