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.
