SUMMARY:Three Strange Books of the Bible
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Rabbi Howard Shub for a six-week course\, Three Strange Books of the Bible. Beyond the Five Books of Moses\, the Tanach includes writings that shape Jewish life and tradition. Three of them—Jonah\, Kohelet (Ecclesiastes)\, and Esther—are so central that we read them on Yom Kippur\, Sukkot\, and Purim. But why these books\, and why on these days? What meaning do they hold for us today? Join us as we explore these timeless texts and uncover why our tradition elevates them as essential to the Jewish calendar. Truly\, a course that is one for the books! \nVIRTUAL – ZOOM\nFree for B’nai Torah Members\, $36 for guests \nClick here to register\n \n\nSponsored by the Lilian\, Philip and Gerry Cooperman Academy for Adult Jewish Learning \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
