Foundational Principles

We will explore how to navigate the real decisions we make every day around issues such as our individual place and impact, the way we speak, honesty, loyalty, the value we place on time, honoring our parents and those who came before us, Shabbat, the sacred, where we go wrong, belief, and kindness.
