SUMMARY:Daily Evening Minyan (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us online at BZBI’s daily evening service\, the only Conservative daily Minyan in Center City. In December\, we embarked on a three-month trial period for multi-access (in person + Zoom) weekday minyanim. We are deeply grateful to those BZBI members who made the effort to support this trial by coming in person as well as those who maintained their commitment to Zoom participation in weekday services. \nAfter a careful review of that experience by our Ritual Committee and rabbis\, it is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic remains a significant concern for many stalwart members of our daily minyan community. During the course of our three-month trial\, we were not able to consistently field a minyan in BZBI’s chapel\, and we have decided to pause in-person weekday minyanim for March and April in the hopes that\, a few months further on\, conditions will better allow for resuming minyan in person. The only exception will be the Monday evening minyan\, which will continue in a multi-access format. \nSpecifically\, services will continue with the minor schedule adjustments detailed below\, and there are no changes to Shabbat or Yom Tov service locations or times. Note that on Sundays and civic holidays\, morning minyan takes place at 9:00 AM. \n \n* – Rabbi Mort’s Torah study class continues without change at approximately 8:15 AM after the Monday minyan. \nYou can sign up for Zoom access here. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email allowing you into all religious services\, including the daily minyan\, Monday Torah Study\, Kabbalat Shabbat\, and Shabbat morning and holiday services. You can download Siddur Sim Shalom\, used for the daily minyan or Shabbat services by going here. \nQuestions? Send a note through our Contact Us form. \n

SUMMARY:Zohar Study Group led by Rabbi David Greenstein

Our studies touch on such topics as the nature of God\, the relationship between God and the world\, the human soul\, the purpose of life\, Jewish traditions and their meanings\, sexuality and holiness\, good and evil\, caring for one’s self and caring for others. The Zohar text is the English authoritative translation by Daniel C. Matt\, The Pritzker Zohar\, published by Stanford University Press. We will start with Volume III\, Parashat Vayishlach (Zohar I:165b). The sessions are open to all. \nThis course will run every Monday throughout the academic year. The cost is $180 for BZBI members and $250 for community members. Click here to register.

He holds a BA (Philosophy) and MA (Talmud) from Yeshiva University\, an MFA (Painting) from Queens College\, and a PhD (Medieval Jewish Thought and Rabbinics) from NYU. Ordained at the pluralistic seminary\, Academy for Jewish Religion\, he also served there as a faculty member and as Rabbi-in-Residence\, President and Rosh Ha-Yeshivah. A member of the Rabbinical Assembly\, he has taught Rabbinic Studies and Zohar in rabbinical seminaries in North America and Europe as well as at the Conservative Yeshiva\, Jerusalem\, and at Neve Schechter\, Tel Aviv.
