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]

SUMMARY:An Ethiopian Jew’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:Tali Ysia’s journey began at just four years old\, when she walked for two and a half months through the Sudanese desert with her family as part of Operation Moses\, the historic effort to bring the Jews of Ethiopia\, known as Beta Yisrael\, to Israel. Descended from the ancient Israelite Tribe of Dan\, the Beta Yisrael community lived in isolation from other Jews for millennia\, preserving unique traditions and deep faith. Since making Aliyah in 1984\, Tali has dedicated her life to leading impactful educational and social initiatives in Israel and around the world. In this presentation\, she will share her remarkable personal story and introduce the SIGD holiday\, an ancient celebration of the Beta Yisrael community that symbolizes the renewal of the covenant with God and the longing for Jerusalem and return to Israel. \nPresented by: Tali Ysia\nIN-PERSON – B’NAI TORAH CONGREGATION\nFree for B’nai Torah Members & Guests \nClick here to register\n \n\nSponsored by the Lilian\, Philip and Gerry Cooperman Academy for Adult Jewish Learning \n

SUMMARY:Women at the Margins: The Stories of Hagar & Tamar\, Redefined
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a two-part exploration of two of the Bible’s most misunderstood women: Hagar and Tamar. \nHagar’s story is more than Sarah’s cruelty—it’s a deeply human struggle involving dignity\, silence\, and divine promise. Though cast aside\, Hagar is seen and heard by God\, even as the covenant continues through Sarah. \nTamar’s story\, often reduced to an act of seduction\, is actually one of justice and courage. Denied her rightful place\, she risks everything to preserve the covenantal line—leading Judah to proclaim\, “She is more righteous than I.”  \nTogether\, these stories urge us to move beyond simplistic readings and invite powerful conversations about compassion\, power\, justice\, and covenant. \nPlease register for the Zoom link.\nClick here to RSVP \n\nThis class is proudly sponsored by The Lillian\, Philip and Gerry Cooperman Academy for Adult Jewish Learning. \n\nRabbi Michele Faudem was ordained by and earned her M.A. in Education from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. She was Rabbi-in-Residence at Hillel Day School for nine years.  Following that\, she became the Coordinator of Adult Jewish Education and the Houston Melton Director at the Houston JCC. Rabbi Faudem has been teaching adult education classes in the Detroit Jewish Community since 2004.  She is a passionate teacher and currently teaches numerous JLearn classes in her hometown of Detroit\, MI as well as Melton+ classes.

SUMMARY:Noah and the Flood: Fact or Myth-Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Harvey Leven\, M.A.\nIn Part one of “Noah and the Flood”\, we will explore chapters 6 & 7 of Genesis – the first part of the Noah story. As we explore\, we’ll focus on both the Hebrew of the text\, and how it impacts our understanding of the story. We’ll also look at the first portion of a parallel Babylonian flood story\, and see where the two converge\, and more importantly\, where they diverge – which is what makes this a definitive Jewish tale. \nFuture Dates:\nFebruary 17 & 24 and March 3 & 10
