A WORKSHOP ON PARENTING HUMANISTICALLY: Without the Assist of an All-Seeing & All-Comforting Deity
Category :: Lecture
Export to My Calendar
Is it easier to parent if God is part of the equation? Or easier for whom? The kids or their parents?
If we don't rely on the concept of a watchful God in our lives, how do we instill in our children a sense of accountability and conscience? If we don't rely on a caring God to help us through hard times, how do we teach coping skills? If we don't believe in a heaven and a world to come, what do we teach about death and dying?
Also, as we raise our children with secular humanistic values, how do we prepare them to go out into a world that is permeated by religious culture and language?
TCC parents will share experiences and reflect on these questions and others. All ideas are welcome!
Adult Perspectives is the name of our Sunday Adult Education program. These sessions are led by Rabbi Peter Schweitzer or by a member of the congregation. TCC Members occasionally participate on panel discussions and guest speakers, including our own members, are also invited to make special presentations.
Adult Perspectives meets twice a month on Sundays from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM at 15 West 86th Street (SAJ) in Manhattan. There is no charge and all are welcome to attend.
All dates and programs are subject to change. To confirm events and for more information, contact the office at 212-213-1002 or [email protected].
