September weekly dinner, class & socials
TONIGHT: Numerous times the Torah mentions the prohibition against eating blood. Not that you’d want to eat it, but if meat is kosher, what’s so bad about the red fluid found within? This class probes beneath the skin of the Torah’s aversion to blood, providing us a guide to living a kosher life.
09.07.2016: Perhaps our prison systems indicate our rigorous sense of justice, but could there be a more productive way of “correction” than years spent locked away? Understanding why Jewish law doesn’t promote incarceration reveals Torah’s unique approach to crime and punishment.
09.14.2016: Heaven, hell, and the world to come: all loaded terms. But what is the Jewish take on life after death? And what difference does it make now? By exploring these matters, this class gives an empowering perspective of what we are doing here.
09.21.2016: Explore the age old custom of celebrating the week after the Jewish wedding with daily Sheva Brachot as we celebrate with and have a sheva brachot dinner for Karen Nudelman and Yossi Abeshouse!!
