:: Wednesday Morning Study
Our Wednesday Morning Study meets each week at
Temple from 10:00 –11:30 am. Each fall and spring brings a new
topic in Jewish text and thought.
The study topic for the fall will be
“Judaism’s Great Debates,” based on a new book of the same name
by Rabbi Barry Schwartz. From the publisher: “Ever since
Abraham’s famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of
debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai,
the Vilna Gaon and the Ba’al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam
Rabbis…the list goes on. Jews debate justice, authority,
inclusion, spirituality, resistance, evolution, Zionism, and
more. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket
l’shem shamayim, ‘an argument for the sake of heaven.’”
Wednesday Morning Study begins on
October 10. No registration is necessary to join us.
