Psychology and Jewish thinking both define a person's sense of self as having parts. How we express ourselves, our thoughts, and feelings depend on our environment. No one behaves the same way with their spouse as they do with their mother. The relationships we make with others "creates" different versions of ourselves.
Jewish thinking takes this idea one step further. It adds a moral component into the mix. In this ocean of different parts there are two very distinct versions of us. There's the side of us that craves to survive at all cost. Another side of us yearns to help and support others. Neither is "bad" but both can certainly be put to bad use. This class explores this idea and opens up the question, who are we "really"?
