The Haftarah for Yom Kippur demands our attention. Isaiah yells at the Israelites that they should not fast for fasting’s sake. Isaiah continues by sharing that, in fact, no ritual matters if we are not first caring for those in need. Quite the message for the most ritualistic day of the year! What does our Reform machzor have to say about these words? How does our sect of Judaism view right vs. rite differently than others? Join Rabbi Fischel and a group of dedicated learners as they dive into Isaiah 57:14-58:14 from the Reform, Reconstructionist, and Orthodox perspective. All materials will be provided. Please contact Becca Rosenblum at rrosenblum@whctemple.org with any questions. REGISTER
Every Shabbat morning, we begin the day with an informal group at Temple to study parashat hashavua, the weekly Torah portion, in English. Led by one of the clergy, we analyze, question, and reflect on Judaism’s central text. All are welcome — just occasionally or every week — and absolutely no background knowledge or familiarity with Hebrew is necessary!
