Are the Ten Commandments Still Relevant?

The two tablets are often perceived by many people as a symbol of old-time Jewish or Christian religion, but a closer look reveals a whole worldview. Hidden behind the Ten Commandments is a unique approach to life, community, love, and what it means to be a human being-expressing an outlook that is as relevant to modern life as when they were first written down thousands of years ago.

Do We Still Have to Be Concerned about Idolatry Today? 

On the face of it, the Second Commandment seems to be the least relevant to modern life. Yet a closer look at the Bible's attitude towards idolatry reveals that statues and multiple gods were just outward expressions of something hidden in our nature that threatens our sense of right and wrong-a danger that's as alive today as it was at the foot of Mt. Sinai.

Honoring Parents: The Secret to Attaining Wisdom

The Bible tells us that if we honor our parents, we will "lengthen our days." A careful look at Biblical stories and rabbinic tales about parents and children reveals a crucial connection between honoring parents and moral wisdom-a special type of wisdom that cannot be learned solely from texts or teachers, but is the source of our deepest moral instincts.

Whose Money Is It Anyway? -

In the era of Bernie Madoff, no one needs to argue over the value of "Thou shall not steal" among the Ten Commandments. What isn't as well-known is how the ancient rabbis took respect for private ownership to another level, teaching that when you steal even something small, you are violating the soul of another. This talk will explore both the Bible's and the rabbinic tradition's approach to wealth, the problem of greed, and the real meaning of charity - and how different these are from what we normally think.
