We are all influenced by the world around us — politics, technology, environment. How does the time of your birth impact the way you see the world? How might understanding other times make for more peaceful interactions with people of different generations? Join Dr. Betsy Stone and Rabbi Alexander to explore some external influences that might have helped to create the person you are today.

Registration is required in advance for this program at https://kkbe.shulcloud.com/event/lifelong-learning-betsystone. ...
