Here you will find an overview of our two-week special seminar on GOOD & EVIL and the opportunity to book for the whole 'mini-term'.
For more detailed information on each day, or to book for individual days, please click on that date.
Every major religion is predicated on the importance of doing good and fighting evil. There's no question of sitting on the fence: do G-d's will and you're good; otherise you're evil. But is it really that simple? Crimes that would once have been blamed on evil are now blamed on everything from a poor upbringing to psychiatric illness. This two-week special 'mini-term' brings together an outstanding and diverse set of lectureres and experts who will guide us from the pinnacle of unselfish goodness to the deepest pit or pure evil.
