SUMMARY:Dirshuni: Contemporary Women's Midrash with Rabbi Abe Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Midrash\, one of the fundamental genres of Jewish literature\, came into being almost 2\,000 year ago and was developed and composed by thousands of sages working in parallel – all of whom were men. In our generation\, increased opportunities for women to study and teach led to a renewed interest in composing Midrash. In this series\, we will study selections from Dirshuni\, a two-volume collection of Midrash by contemporary Israeli women\, and explore the ways in which their writings connect with classical Midrash and how women’s voices expand the horizons of Torah. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Parashat HaShavua Class
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to get a closer look at key issues in the weekly Torah portion? Have you been meaning to study Torah more consistently but haven’t found the right time? Are you looking for an interactive alternative to the Sanctuary Torah reading? \nIf you answer “yes” (or even “maybe”) to any of those questions then you should check out Parashat HaShavua\, led by BZBI’s rabbis and other engaging teachers from our community! Each week we will take a close look at one key theme from that week’s Torah reading through the eyes of classics and modern Jewish commentaries. \nThere is no registration required for this class.

SUMMARY:Post Kiddush: Standing Together
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to meet two Israeli grassroots activists\, Rula Daood and Itamar Avneri\, from New Israel Fund grantee Omdim Beyachad/Naqaf Ma’an (Standing Together). Hear about the issues at the heart of the Israeli social change movement and how Jews and Palestinians are working together for a better\, more just future. \nAs the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel\, Standing Together has become an essential voice during this difficult moment in Israeli history. Rula and Itamar will share personal stories about the work they have done and the support system they have created through their thousands of members to maintain a group of dedicated Jews and Arabs who are devoted to creating a society capable of achieving peace\, equality and social justice for all.  \nAs with any of the programs we offer\, the viewpoints reflected by the speakers may or may not be those of the leadership of the synagogue. Our world has become more polarized and we are committed to providing room for all voices to be heard\, especially about Israel. We recognize the diversity of opinions represented in our community and support the opportunity to engage in robust and thoughtful conversation.  \nClick here to register.

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. \nThis course will run every Monday throughout the academic year.
