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]

SUMMARY:Melton Alumni Association Speaker Brunch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join the B’nai Torah Congregation Melton Alumni Association for our Annual Speaker Brunch:\nHow do we know what we know?\nwith Ilene Prusher\nAssistant Professor of Professional Practice\, Director of Graduate Studies in Journalism\, University of Miami \n(This event is exclusively for Melton Alumni Association members.)\nTo become a Melton Alumni Association member\, click here. \n\nBrunch is sponsored by Jo Robbins & Dorothy Wizer \n\nThe state of journalism is deeply worrying\, with newspaper circulation declining\, news deserts spreading\, and hyper-partisan media seeming to fuel an even more divided electorate. Yet there are some really encouraging signs about the ways in which citizen journalism and mobile news-gathering tools are shaping the national conversation. Veteran journalist Ilene Prusher gives us an inside look into both the most concerning trends in journalism\, as well as the most positive ones – and provides some food for thought on how journalism is aligned with Jewish values. \n\n \nIlene Prusher is the Director of the M.A. program in Journalism at the University of Miami and Assistant Professor of Practice. Prusher also spearheads news-academic partnerships in the School of Communication\, including CommunityWire.Miami. Before coming to the University of Miami\, Prusher spent 10 years teaching journalism at Florida Atlantic University\, where she was the founder and digital director of MediaLab@FAU. This news-academic partnership has led to dozens of journalism students having their work published by new partners across Florida. Under Prusher’s leadership\, MediaLab won a $100\,000 grant from Press Forward\, a nationwide philanthropic initiative to strengthen communities by reinvigorating local news. \nPrusher is an award-winning journalist and author who spent two decades abroad as a foreign correspondent before embarking on her career as a journalism educator. After completing her first master’s degree at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism\, she chose to focus on international affairs\, specifically the Middle East and Asia. As a foreign correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor from 1996-2010\, she covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prusher served as Monitor’s bureau chief in Jerusalem\, Istanbul and Tokyo. She was Jerusalem correspondent for TIME\, a columnist and feature writer for Haaretz\, and a podcast host on TLV1 Radio. Her work has also been published in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Miami Herald\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, The Guardian\, The Financial Times\, Ms.\, CNN\, NBC NewsThink\, FiveThirtyEight\, The Forward and Moment. She has served as a guest commentator on international affairs on CNN\, BBC\, MSNBC\, NPR\, C-SPAN and Fox News. \n\nFor more information\, please contact Penina Bredoff\, Adult Education & Melton Director\, at 561-392-8566 or email melton@bnai-torah.org.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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.

Chassidism emerged in the 18th century with a message of warmth\, song\, and spiritual joy\, offering a new way to feel connected to Jewish life and to God. It was a spiritual revolution that promoted a sense of closeness to God that reshaped Jewish life. In the first session\, we will explore the beginnings of this movement\, and in the second session we will focus on the Chabad movement\, examining its unique philosophy\, global influence\, and continuing role in Jewish life today. \nVIRTUAL\nFree for B’nai Torah Members\, $18 for Guests \nClick here to register\n \n\nSponsored by the Lilian\, Philip and Gerry Cooperman Academy for Adult Jewish Learning \n

SUMMARY:Polish Jewry: A search for roots
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Rabbi Howard Shub for a six-week course\, Polish Jewry: A Search for Roots. For many American Jews\, our roots trace back to Poland—yet how much do we truly know about the history and culture of Polish Jewry? Before the Shoah\, Jews made up about ten percent of Poland’s population\, with entire cities and shtetlach often half—or more—Jewish. Polish Jews flourished as professionals\, artists\, and community leaders. Though nearly 90% were lost in the Holocaust\, today a growing number of Polish Jews are rediscovering their heritage. Join us on a journey through time to explore one of the most vibrant and influential Jewish communities in history. \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]
