SECRETS IN STONE / buffet first course

Lessons and inspiration from the tablets of stone

The Ten Commandments is the most famous set of laws in human history. It has influenced many religions and legal systems and inspired untold millions. The two stone tablets—the medium upon which the commandments were engraved—are also the subject of study and a source of inspiration. We will scrutinize the shape of the tablets, its container (the Ark), and the format of the commandments to derive important lessons that pertain to our mission in life, familial relationships, and the intersection of our spiritual aspirations with our social behavior.
