In an increasingly global world, the notion of "neighbor" has expanded. What does Jewish tradition understand about who our neighbor is, how we treat the stranger, what it means to love another and who is included in that love. We will examine the blblical text, "vahavta le'reacha kamocha" -- "you shall love your neighbor as yourself" and others to see how we might apply it in a post 9/11 world.
