Rabbi Yossie Shemtov will giving the Torah perspective on the 2012 presidential elections at a presentation at the Jewish Culture Shuk on Sunday, March 4.
Titled "The One Percent - Distribution and Redistribution of Wealth," the talk will be sharing with participants what wisdom does Judaism have to offer on the issue of the distribution of wealth.
Is wealth a mark of sin, a sign that a person has greedily taken too much and necessarily impoverished others? Is poverty a sign of laziness or ineptitude, an outer indication of a poor character?
Rabbi Shemtov, Regional Director of Chabad of Tucson and spiritual leader of Congregation Young Israel of Tucson, will explore why there is inequality in wealth and what should we do about it.
The Shuk is an incredible night of Jewish learning all under one roof, organized by the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and offering a wide range of classes taught by Tucson's rabbis, cantors and Jewish educators.
The evening consists of two sessions concluding with dessert, schmoozing and discussion of the classes. Participants choose two classes, one each session.
Classes begin at 7:00 pm followed by dessert at Tucson Hebrew Academy.
