Programs

-Neil Adelman will speak about the Book of Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) during Sukkot on Wednesday, October 7 at 7:30 pm.  Ecclesiastes, which is traditionally read on Sukkot, has been described as both "the most peculiar" and "the most modern" book of the Bible.  The rabbis of the Talmud debated why this book, which seems to question the meaning of life, is even included in the Bible.  Neil will talk about religious and philosophical aspects of Ecclesiastes as well as its subsequent appearances in literature and music.

-Rabbi's Torah Class - Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m.
Rabbi Newman Kamin offers a weekly Torah class on the Book of Devarim( Deuteronomy). The Book of Deuteronomy addresses  many important topics as it focuses on how to create a just society. Many of the themes are unbelievably relevant for the times we are living through today. No text is required for the class.  The Rabbi will share from her screen.

-Cantor's Current Events Class - Thursdays at noon 
Cantor Simon offers his weekly Current Events Class to the entire congregation.  Traditionally, this group has enjoyed a little bit of adult beverage while solving the world's problems.  During the quarantine, it's BYO, but by all means, feel free to grab your favorite beverage and join this lively group.

-Women's Network Book Group - Fridays at 10:00 a.m. 
The book is "A Book That Was Lost: Thirty-Five Stories of S.Y. Agnon" and is available on Amazon and other booksellers' websites as well as from various local public libraries through electronic lending.   There is no "homework" -- we read the book together out loud at each meeting and there's no need to read anything ahead of time.  The book is a collection of short stories, so it's no problem if someone misses some of the book group meetings.
