Living a Meaningful Life

Led by Karen Levitt, this group explores the big themes in life – leadership, faith, reason, responsibility, family, love, marriage, happiness, right and wrong, etc. – in a conversation intended to give students practical tools to apply to their lives in real time.
Discussions are based on the best-selling book, Toward a Meaningful Life, by Simon Jacobson.
This course will appeal to young adults in their 20s interested in thinking about how to get the most out of life, and want to have fun and make new friends in the process.

Jewish students can choose to come regularly or drop in.
