Leading in a Diverse World

J-Swipe or Tinder: The Guide to the Perplexed

Let's be honest, dating is hard. People aren't perfect and we can't control anyone else. But we can focus on ourselves and what we want in a relationship. This program focuses on Jewish views on dating and marriage. The program provides an opportunity to enhance your understanding of other people by thinking about how people may approach dating from a religious perspective. Expand your perspectives on others in this diverse world and your opinions about religion and dating.

This discussion will be led by Kayla Reisman, Senior Engagement Associate for Hillel.
