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.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Rabbi Howard Shub for a six-week course\, Polish Jewry: A Search for Roots.

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.

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:Better Ways to Understand our Ancient Jewish Folklore Through Midrash
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join Ruth Weiner to Better Ways to Understand our Ancient Jewish Folklore Through Midrash.

Still evolving today\, it invites us to uncover new insights into both well-known and overlooked biblical figures. In this class\, we will explore midrash as a living art form. Come and find out. \nIN-PERSON & ZOOM\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\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Sages of the Talmud
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join B’nai Torah past president\, Ed Sopher for this six-week course about the Sages of the Talmud. We have all heard stories from the Talmud in sermons or in various classes. But usually the stories told are the “Cliff Notes” versions – many of the details have been left out. In this class we will dive into the full text of several of the most famous Talmudic stories and get a better sense of the Rabbis who helped shape the Jewish law we practice today. \nIN-PERSON & VIRTUAL\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: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.
