SUMMARY:The Meaning of Kadosh - Rabbi  Michael Schorin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nKadosh most often is translated as holy\, but what does that really mean? We use this word with almost all of our rituals\, most of our mitzvot\, and throughout the Sabbath. In this class\, we will take some time to consider what Kadosh / holy meant in Biblical times\, what it has meant throughout the ages\, and what it might mean for our present moment.\n\n\nRabbi Michael Schorin earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary. His early passion for hospital chaplaincy led him to help establish a clinical program for rabbinical students at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and become one of the first rabbis in the country to complete a chaplaincy residency. Rabbi Schorin holds a Doctor of Ministry from Chicago Theological Seminary and a master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola University Chicago. A Board Certified Chaplain and former Vice President of Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains\, he served for 15 years at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and nine years with CJE SeniorLife. After relocating to Florida\, Rabbi Schorin became Lee Health’s first full-time rabbi/chaplain\, serving for more than five years at Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers. He now works as a psychotherapist. Rabbi Schorin and his wife\, Jan\, moved to Boca and love being a be part of the wonderful B’nai Torah Congregation. \n\nIN-PERSON at B’nai Torah Congregation and on Zoom\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $10 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \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.

SUMMARY:Judge Roy K. Altman - 2026-2027 Author Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin us as we welcome Judge Roy K. Altman discussing his book Israel on Trial: Examining the History\, the Evidence\, and the Law.\n\n\n\nInstant NYTimes and USA Today best­seller. Since Octo­ber 7\, Judge Alt­man has giv­en hun­dreds of speech­es about Israel at church­es\, syn­a­gogues\, col­leges\, law schools\, and com­mu­ni­ty cen­ters around the coun­try. These hun­dreds of con­ver­sa­tions have shown him that the con­tem­po­rary debate in Amer­i­ca today cen­ters around six claims Israel’s adver­saries have advanced about the Jew­ish State: geno­cide\, occu­pa­tion\, apartheid\, etc. And what’s most inter­est­ing about these claims is that they’re all actu­al­ly legal in nature. In Israel On Tri­al\, Judge Alt­man removes emo­tion\, vit­ri­ol\, and rhetoric from these dis­cus­sions and applies the same judi­cial method­ol­o­gy he uses in his court­room — a time-test­ed method­ol­o­gy judges and lawyers have been apply­ing to legal claims in court­rooms across the coun­try for 250 years — to each of these six claims. Each claim gets its own chap­ter and ends with a ver­dict that will show read­ers\, using rea­son and com­mon sense\, not only that each claim is false as a mat­ter of law\, but also the extent to which the claims have been manip­u­lat­ed to min­i­mize Jew­ish suf­fer­ing and to prey on deeply held prej­u­dices about Jews.\n \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:Lunch & Learn with Dr. Abraham Hamaoui - Expulsion of Jews from Arab-ruled Lands
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The lecture highlights the expulsion of Jews from Arab-ruled lands—including Morocco\, Algeria\, Tunisia\, Libya\, Egypt\, Sudan\, Lebanon\, Syria\, and Iraq—during the 1950s and 1960s. More than 800\,000 Jews were forced to flee or were expelled\, ending communities that had existed for centuries\, and in some cases for over two millennia\, while receiving no international recognition or assistance. Despite its limited resources as a young state\, Israel welcomed many of the refugees\, providing transportation\, shelter\, and opportunities to rebuild their lives. \n\nLunch & Learn \nTuesdays at 12:00 pm \n\nIN-PERSON at B’nai Torah Congregation and Zoom*\nFree for B’nai Torah Members\, $10 Guests \n\nClick here to register \n\n*Lunch & Learn classes are designed to be in person but we offer a virtual option as courtesy for\nthose that cannot attend in person.

SUMMARY:A Study of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Rabbi Dr. Leon Weissberg
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin Rabbi Weisberg in six sessions to examine the 24 chapters\, or protocols\, which are allegedly minutes from meetings of Jewish leaders describing their “secret plans” to rule the world by manipulating the economy\, controlling the media\, and fostering religious conflict. Written in 1903\, there is much in these protocols that lead us to try and understand antisemitism today.\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]
