Larger Than Life - Lesson 5

"Work"

With Mrs. Dena Schusterman

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on March 11, 2019)

Is wealth to be sought, or is a life of austerity and “happiness with one’s lot” the Jewish ideal? Work, in the Jewish view, is not ancillary to our mission in this world. G-d could have showered us with wealth and made work superfluous, but He specifically chose to make it a necessity. But how do we -- particularly as women -- balance work with family, religion, and other important areas of life?

This lesson provides a spiritual perspective on work and wealth and why it is such a central focus of our lives, and also seeks to find a healthy balance between work and the other important callings of our lives.
