Upcoming Events

Bible & Bagels

Location: Community House

From: Wednesdays | 8:15-9:00am

Details:

Taught by Rabbi Lori Koffman

Kings, lovers,  intrigue, spies, civil wars, petty battles, temples lined with gold, mysterious prophets and so much more—as one student said, “Shakespeare doesn’t hold a candle to the Tanakh (Jewish Bible)!” Join us as we make our way through the Tanakh chapter by chapter and uncover what happens after the Torah leaves off…it’s definitely not the stuff you learned in Hebrew school!

A sneak preview of a forthcoming Poetry Haggadah from the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Pairing traditional haggadah liturgy with thematic poetry from 70+ poets, this text enhances engagement between tradition, history, themes of Exodus, and the aspirational self participating in a Seder. We will study two steps of the Seder per week, and read and write our own poems.
