Many Fronts, One Struggle
Sunday, Apr 27th 9:00a to 10:00a
Many Fronts, One Struggle Please join us to hear from Major Gadi Perl, a reserve officer in the IDF and representative of MERCAZ (political party representing the global Conservative/Masorti Movement). Gadi has seen up close many fronts in the struggle to keep Israel secure, democratic, and a welcoming home for every kind of Jew. In sharing with us his take on the interdependency of Israel and the Diaspora and the common fate we all share, Gadi will talk about how seemingly separate struggles are indeed part of one singular struggle for a Jewish future, and the important, urgent role American Jews need to play in helping shape that future. Sunday, April 27th 9:00am KTI Social Hall Bagel breakfast will be served Please RSVP.

Exile and the Jews
Wednesday, Apr 30th 1:00p to 2:30p
Wednesdays, 1 - 2:30 PM, Social Hall Ever since Abraham’s famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai, the Vilna Gaon and the Ba’al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam Rabbis . . . the list goes on. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket l’shem shamayim, “an argument for the sake of heaven.” Beyond their historical importance, what makes these disputations so compelling is that nearly all of them, regardless of their epochs, are still being argued. The parade of characters spanning three millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation reflects the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges. This series will examine Jewish responses to exile from the biblical period to our modern day. Considering texts from all genres of Jewish literary creativity, we will explore how the realities and iterpretaions Join as we re-open these timeless debates that lead us to the core of 3,000 years of Jewish conversation. • Justice: Abraham vs. God (October 19) • Holiness and Authority: Moses vs. Korah (November 9) • Inclusion: The Five Daughters vs. the Twelve Tribes (November 30) • Accountability and Morality: David vs. Nathan (December 21) • Resistance: Ben Zakkai vs. the Zealots (January 18) • Law: Hillel vs. Shammai (February 15) • Spirituality: The Vilna Gaon vs. the Baal Shem Tov (March 15) • Boundaries: Spinoza vs. the Amsterdam Rabbis (April 19) • Religious Evolution: Geiger vs. Hirsch vs. Frankel (May 10) • Zionism: Herzl vs. Wise (May 31)
