SUMMARY:The Shalom Hartman Series: Liberal Zionism: Between Crisis & Aspiration - Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Rabbi Emeritus David Steinhardt for series on Liberal Zionism: Between Crisis & Aspiration. The past two years have raised urgent\, complex\, and at times painful questions about Zionism. For many rabbis\, the work as community leaders has become harder: harder to hold community together\, harder to navigate the emotional and ideological divides\, and harder to chart a meaningful path forward. In this eight-unit course\, Hartman scholars explore the core tensions and values of liberal Zionism\, responding to the dominant critiques of Israel and Zionism in a post-October 7 reality. Together\, in 8 weeks\, we’ll explore frameworks for holding moral complexity\, for teaching about Israel in a time of war\, and for engaging our communities with courage\, compassion\, and clarity. \nIN-PERSON and VIRTUAL\nFree for B’nai Torah Members\, $54 Guests \nClick here to register \n\nThe Shalom Hartman Institute is a leading research and educational center serving Israel and world Jewry working to enrich the moral and spiritual life of Israel and the Jewish people\, deepen the commitment to pluralism and Israel’s Jewish and democratic character\, and rebuild the covenant between Israel and the Jewish world.

SUMMARY:How to Pray - Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join our Senior Rabbi Jack Moline for a discussion on How to Pray. So many Jews do not know how to pray. If you had a Jewish education of almost any kind\, you may very well have learned to navigate the siddur\, reading phonetically\, chanting the melodies\, becoming familiar with translations. But in a tradition like Judaism where the liturgy is set\, rote recitation can be the enemy of spiritual expression. This class is not a cure for that problem – but it is a step. Come take the step. \nIN-PERSON and VIRTUAL\nFree for B’nai Torah Members\, $36 Guests \nClick here to register \n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
