Well-known community educator Michele Faudem will teach four free sessions at Congregation Beth Shalom on “Developing a Mensch in the 21st Century.” The sessions will be at the synagogue, at 14601 W. Lincoln in Oak Park, every Sunday in March from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Mensch in Yiddish literally means “man.” The word has come to mean a real human being or a kind, compassionate and caring person. The sessions are designed for parents who are looking to develop positive, moral characteristics in their children – and you don’t have to be Jewish to be a mensch! Each session will focus on a different aspect of the mensch.
