SUMMARY:Annelise Heinz - 2026-2027 Author Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin us as we welcome Annelise Heinz discussing her book Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture.\n\n\nMahjong: A Chi­nese Game and the Mak­ing of Mod­ern Amer­i­can Cul­ture illus­trates how the spaces between tiles and the moments between games have fos­tered dis­tinct social cul­tures in the Unit­ed States. This mass-pro­duced game crossed the Pacif­ic\, cre­at­ing waves of pop­u­lar­i­ty over the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry. Annelise Heinz nar­rates the his­to­ry of this game to show how it has cre­at­ed a vari­ety of mean­ings\, among them Amer­i­can moder­ni­ty\, Chi­nese Amer­i­can her­itage\, and Jew­ish Amer­i­can wom­en’s cul­ture. As it trav­eled from Chi­na to the Unit­ed States and caught on with Hol­ly­wood star­lets\, high soci­ety\, mid­dle-class house­wives\, and immi­grants alike\, mahjong became a quin­tes­sen­tial­ly Amer­i­can game. \nIN-PERSON at B’nai Torah Congregation | $18/person \nClick here to register\n \n\nIn partnership with \n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Book of Job - Rabbi Howard Shub
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nWhy do bad things happen to good people? That timeless question\, made famous by Rabbi Harold Kushner’s best-selling book\, has challenged humanity for centuries. How do we relate to God during times of personal or national tragedy? How do we reconcile our belief in a loving and compassionate God with suffering that seems to defy our understanding? And where does Satan fit into this picture? The Book of Job explores these enduring questions.\n\nZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\nRabbi Howard Shub is a first-generation Canadian Jew born in Toronto.  Raised in a traditional Jewish home where Yiddish was spoken as easily as English\, his Jewish identity was nurtured from an early age through family\, school\, and a Labour Zionist summer camp.He earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in New York and later completed an M.A. in Contemporary Jewish Studies\, specialising in modern Jewish history\, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After several years in Israel\, he spent five years in Australia; first as Hillel Director in Melbourne\, and then in an unexpected role as a probation and parole officer working in a maximum security prison. Returning to North America\, Rabbi Howard pursued his true calling and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1988. For nearly 40 years\, he served as a congregational rabbi\, retiring in June 2023\, only to return to a part-time pulpit and\, most recently\, as interim rabbi of the synagogue where he served for 23 years. He continues to teach Jewish topics across Florida and serves as mashgiach (kosher supervisor) at the only kosher deli in the area. \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Age-ing to Sage-ing - Rabbi Michael Schorin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nBack when he turned 60 years old\, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (z’l) became depressed. He wondered about his future and whether he could find any meaning in his extra years. After much introspection\, discussions with colleagues and exploration\, he came up with a system to help each of us harvest the wisdom we have gained from our years of life. In this four part class\, we will learn his methodology\, practice some exercises and open ourselves to reconsidering the blessings we have received and that we want to transmit.\n\nIN-PERSON AT B’NAI TORAH CONGREGATION & ON ZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n  \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:A History of Russian Jewry: Where we came from and why? - Rabbi Howard Shub
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nFor many Jews in North America\, our roots trace back to the Russian Empire. Our language\, Ashkenazi culture\, traditions\, and cuisine reflect centuries of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The influence of Russian Jewry also helped shape the early pioneers of modern Israel. This course explores the history of Russian Jewry and its enduring impact on Jewish identity\, culture\, and life today.\n\nZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\nRabbi Howard Shub is a first-generation Canadian Jew born in Toronto.  Raised in a traditional Jewish home where Yiddish was spoken as easily as English\, his Jewish identity was nurtured from an early age through family\, school\, and a Labour Zionist summer camp.He earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in New York and later completed an M.A. in Contemporary Jewish Studies\, specialising in modern Jewish history\, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After several years in Israel\, he spent five years in Australia; first as Hillel Director in Melbourne\, and then in an unexpected role as a probation and parole officer working in a maximum security prison. Returning to North America\, Rabbi Howard pursued his true calling and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1988. For nearly 40 years\, he served as a congregational rabbi\, retiring in June 2023\, only to return to a part-time pulpit and\, most recently\, as interim rabbi of the synagogue where he served for 23 years. He continues to teach Jewish topics across Florida and serves as mashgiach (kosher supervisor) at the only kosher deli in the area. \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
