The Lights of Penitence: a special Elul study of Rav Kook's seminal work taught by Josh Gressel on September 8, 15, and 22 @ 7:30 to 9:00 pm in the CNS Library - The month of Elul and the High Holidays are devoted to a period of inner searching, where we seek to correct our relationship to ourselves, to others and to God. Perhaps no one writes with more authority, more generosity of spirit, and more depth and understanding on tshuvah than Rav Kook. Join Josh Gressel for an Elul study of select passages from "Lights of Penitence" – Rav Kook's most famous and most studied work. A $36 donation to the Netivot Shalom Adult Education Fund is requested. No one turned away for lack of funds.
