We're walking contradictions.  We want to be listened to without realizing we're not hearing others.  We kill ourselves to respect others but give our own self respect little thought.  In big ways and small, we're fighting an internal war.  The challenge of living a truthful life is confronting our contradictions.  This process is painful but it's freeing.  One goal of Jewish wisdom is  providing a plan to play out this process.

Worse, this is the norm at every level of our lives.  In politics, parenting, relationships, and religion.  Gaining insight into these contradictions is the first step in winning the war.  This class provides a basic battle plan against this black and white thinking.
