April 25: “A Deeper Look into the Meaning of ‘The Chosen People'”
Featured speaker: Rabbi Levi Minsky of Chabad of Ahwatukee
We will be delving into the idea of the Jewish nation being called the “chosen people.” The idea of the Jewish people being referred to as the “chosen people” has been a topic of discussion for centuries. Some people interpret it as a statement of superiority, while others view it as a designation that comes with a great responsibility. In this class, we will explore the latter interpretation of the term.
It is a call to use the unique gifts and talents that have been bestowed upon us to make the world a better place. By embracing this responsibility, the Jewish people can fulfill their true purpose and contribute to the betterment of all humanity.
Rabbi Levi Minsky is a Chabad Rabbi servicing the Ahwatukee Jewish community. Originally from New York, Rabbi Levi has been involved in Jewish outreach for most of his adult life in many parts of the world. His Rabbinic studies have taken him to Israel, France, and England, among others.
