Torah Study with Rabbi KuninThe Torah is our timeless treasure, with answers for the pivotal questions of the past, present and future. Sometimes it challenges us, and sometimes it disturbs us. Nonetheless there is always room for learning and debate. Each week we will examine ideas and issues from the weekly parasha and, through discussion and sometimes debate, discover meaningful connections between the wisdom our Torah and our modern lives. Please join this weekly informal Torah study session with Rabbi Kunin on a drop-in basis.

Jewish Book Discussion Group (Beit Midrash)
Uncomfortable Conversations
with a Jew, by Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby: A
timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into
anti-Semitism that connects the dots between the tropes of the past to our
current complicated moment. Acho and Tishby tackle tough questions about
Jews—money, power, Zionism, and antisemitism—head on. No question is off
limits. Drawing from their different backgrounds, they make complex,
uncomfortable topics accessible, tracing antisemitism from the past to the
present. They debunk loaded myths, explore Jewish identity as religion, culture,
and peoplehood, and examine the intersections of Black and Jewish history. The
discussion will be led by Shmuel Shottan.

Teshuvah of the Month with Rabbi Kunin
Traditional Judaism (including Conservative Judaism) is a religion of law. We build our lives around halakha (Jewish law). We understand our legal tradition to be based in the past yet growing and developing in every generation. These changes in interpretation are reflected in teshuvot, rabbinic legal decisions, a literature that has been growing over the last thousand or more years. Each month Join Rabbi Kunin as we examine fascinating examples of this important literature, stemming both from ancient and modern Conservative (and occasional Orthodox or Reform) sources.

Israeli Memorial Day. Remembers those who died in the War of Independence and other wars in Israel. The full name of the holiday is Yom HaZikaron LeHalalei Ma'arakhot Yisrael ul'Nifge'ei Pe'ulot HaEivah (Hebrew: יוֹם הזִּכָּרוֹן לְחַלְלֵי מַעֲרָכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל וּלְנִפְגְעֵי פְּעֻלּוֹת הָאֵיבָה), Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of the Wars of Israel and Victims of Actions of Terrorism. Although Yom Hazikaron is normally observed on the 4th of Iyyar, it may be moved earlier or postponed if observance of the holiday (or Yom HaAtzma'ut, which always follows it) would conflict with Shabbat

A Historical Look at HalachaRabbinic
intern Neal Cronin will be leading a series of classes taking a historical look
into major works of Halacha spanning several centuries. Each class in the
series will begin with a short presentation of one key work by a key figure in
a particular century, and will examine how this work builds upon those of the
previous centuries, and how this work influences our views and actions today as
Jews. The brief presentation will be followed by plenty of discussion.
Participants will be invited to share their pertinent personal experiences, and
air any issues the law brings up. Taken a whole, these classes trace the
development of halacha into what we know and apply today.
Dates of this series:
April 27, May 4, 11, 18, June 1, 8, 15
