The Practice of Universal Ethics is an eight-week course exploring the foundations of civilization through the lens of the universal moral code given at Sinai and echoed across humanity. Drawing on timeless principles and contemporary application, the course examines how ethical living shapes personal integrity, social justice, and humanity’s relationship with the Divine and with creation.
Each week focuses on a key dimension of the Noahide tradition of ethics, providing historical background, scriptural sources, and practical insights for daily life. Students will learn how these principles establish the basis of civilization and guide humanity toward peace, justice, and reverence for life.
