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]

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: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]
