Rosenbaum
continues What Moses Maimonides' Eight Chapters Teaches Us About Everyday Living

Thursday, November 12
7:30-9:00 PM in Levin Library (RM 209)

Please join Rabbi Rosenbaum for a three-part class exploring The Eight Chapters, Moses Maimonides' introduction to Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers). Maimonides is one of the great scholars of Jewish history, and arguably The Eight Chapters is the most concise description of Maimonides' philosophy. What makes this book unique is that it resonates with philosopher and non-philosopher alike, and gives a compelling suggestion of how to live Jewishly to the best of our abilities. In a sense, it is one of Judaism's ultimate "self-help" books, and it is sure to resonate with all of us as we consider our daily habits and behavior. Rabbi Rosenbaum looks forward to your questions and participation. Texts will be provided.

Nov. 12: What Is Perfection, Anyway?

He will talk to the group about origin of the College of Charleston Summer Internship Program in Germany and offer tips as to how to duplicate his model at other institutions. The participants will brainstorm with the HR director from BMW as to how German language professionals can incorporate an internship for students of German locally. In doing so academic institutions and private industry may better cooperate to achieve a more practical dimension of foreign language learning.
