News

 

Micro Minyan is this Shabbat! We are grateful to Tali Zilberman for leading and organizing this facet of our children's programming. Micro Minyan begins at 10:30 AM and generally meets on alternating Shabbatot. There will be a  Kommunity Kinder Kiddush Klub immediately following.

 

Our Tanakh Yomi students are studying Isaiah. Even if you skipped II Kings (basically, a whirlwind of collapsing kingdoms, clueless monarchs, fiery prophets, foreign invasions, and one long, slow-motion reminder that ignoring every warning ever given is an excellent way to lose your throne, your Temple, and your national dignity), please consider learning Isaiah with us. To enhance your study and/or keep things straight, the following resources that can be found on our Tanakh Yomi page.

 

Isaiah: Brief Outline - Detailed Outline - Key Figures - Key Places
            The Three Worlds (Books) of Isaiah


Isaiah is a sweeping prophetic mixtape where fiery warnings, visionary poetry, and cosmic hope collide as the prophet tells kings, empires, and pretty much everyone on earth to stop being terrible, trust God, and get ready for both judgment and redemption on an epic, universe-level scale. It's 66 chapters long, so we are going to be at this for a while. See the schedule for more information.

 

Both the Tuesday Night Genesis Rabbah Class and the Wednesday Night Foundations Classes will meet this week.

 

Save the Date: CholentFest XII - The Bat Mitzvah on February 7th
