SUMMARY:Zohar Study Group led by Rabbi David Greenstein
DESCRIPTION:Mondays\, 8:00-9:15 PM \nWord by word\, line by line\, page by page\, we follow the Zohar\, the most precious book of Jewish mystical teachings\, as it leads us along its paths of primordial wisdom. By turns profound\, puzzling\, shocking and amusing\, the Zohar helps us\, through our study and our open discussions\, to taste of the Tree of Life. 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. The cost is $180 for BZBI members and $250 for community members. \nClick here for the registration link.

SUMMARY:Who Is Man with Rabbi Stone
DESCRIPTION:“Who Is Man” was the final book written by the eminent Jewish thinker\, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. In the fairly brief work he stated the guiding philosophic insights of his life’s work. Addressed to a general audience while still drawing deeply on Torah sources\, it continues to be a somewhat under appreciated but vital text for our times as well as his. We will review the main points of all six chapters of the book. Rabbi Stone will describe each chapter’s main points\, but folks who want to avail themselves of the original text are encouraged to purchase and read along. \nTo Sign up\, click here.

SUMMARY:Pink Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Join BZBI for our Pink Shabbat\, a morning service in honor of breast cancer awareness month. We will welcome Emily Schaeffer Bakaj to share her experience.  \nHer story begins with her mother passing away from breast cancer when she was in her early twenties. Helping her through her journey and then living on her own\, changed her as a person to be kinder\, stronger\, more giving\, and open. Support groups\, peer support\, speaking engagements for Sharsheret and being a contributing member of the Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Patient & Faculty Advisory Council (“PFAC”) for six years\, gives her a chance to make a difference. \nIn her day to day\, she is the Facility Manager for the US Region for a global engineering consulting firm. She has been married for 29 years to a wonderful man\, Myron\, and without his support and love\, and the support of friends\, family\, and Fox Chase Cancer Center\, she says she would not be where she is today. \nWe are encouraging everyone to wear pink to this service to show their support of breast cancer awareness. Our Kiddush will feature pink treats in honor of this special month.

SUMMARY:Not Tevia’s Shtetl: The Real Story of our Ancestral Towns and What’s Happening There Today
DESCRIPTION:Jews around the world can trace their roots to small towns in Eastern Europe. Before they made the leap to a big shtot (city) they lived for centuries in shtetls. These places have become shrouded in myth and clouded by memories. Join us for an adventure into the real stories of the towns where our ancestors fell in love\, experienced frustration\, and tried to get ahead. At the end we’ll talk about what remains of these hallowed places and what’s being done to preserve Jewish heritage in places where Jews are absent. We will welcome Zachary Mazur to BZBI for this lecture and Q & A session. \nRegistration is free and there is a suggested $10 donation for the cost of security\, click here to register! \nZachary Mazur earned his PhD at Yale University where he studied under Professor Timothy Snyder. He’s the author of numerous articles and will soon publish a book on Jews\, Ukrainians and Poles in Poland’s economy during the 1920s-30s. He is currently the Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.
