Derech Eretz – A Focused Exploration of Common Decency in Jewish Tradition

This adult ed series will continue to explore a topic first addressed in this year’s Yom Kippur sermon, the critical
value of Derech Eretz (common decency, the way to be in the world). In each of our three sessions, we will

Eretz might apply in our own lives.
