SUMMARY:Tisha B'Av Conversation with Magen David Sephardic Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Elenberg Eisenberg (born Rachel Sygal Epstein in 1935 in Skalat\, Poland) is a Holocaust survivor and volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. During the Nazi occupation\, Ruth survived multiple Nazi actions and the liquidation of the Skalat ghetto by hiding in basements\, barns\, and forests\, with the help of courageous non-Jewish rescuers\, including the Baranofski and Szewchuk families. \nMost of her family perished\, but Ruth escaped with her siblings and members of the Sass family\, eventually reaching a displaced persons camp in Italy. Ruth immigrated to the U.S. in 1947\, where she built a new life\, married fellow survivor Sidney Sass\, and later Henry Eisenberg. In 2019\, Yad Vashem honored her rescuers as Righteous Among the Nations.

SUMMARY:Textual Audacity: Talmud for the Progressive Soul with Rav Avigayil Halpern
DESCRIPTION:Each class will be a deep dive into one Talmudic text on a topic relevant to Jews engaged with the Left. We’ll use some supplemental materials to inform our reading\, but the core of our study will be the Talmud and its commentaries. Everyone is welcome\, but the target audience is Jewish people seeking spiritual nourishment as we engage in the work of building a better world\, whatever that looks like for you! \nThe class time will be split between chavruta (paired independent study\, with guidance from me) and full-group discussion. My goal is for the full-group discussion to feel exciting\, stimulating\, and accessible to people with a wide range of previous Talmud experience\, whether this is your first time encountering the Talmud or you learn Gemara regularly. I will strive to match chavrutot based on your learning needs and goals\, particularly around preferring to learn in the original language or in translation. Consider inviting a friend who you might like to be your chavruta!  \nT

SUMMARY:Reconceptualizing Anti-Jewish Bigotry with the Haberman Institute
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Britt Tevis\, J.D./Ph.D.\nAmerican Jewish Historian; Phyllis Backer Assistant Professor in Jewish Studies\, Department of History\, Syracuse University \nAntisemitism in the United States\, though a pressing subject in contemporary politics\, is poorly understood. Scholars and public intellectuals often cast antisemitism simplistically\, identifying it as a conspiracy theory or as an individual defect. Yet exploring incidents of anti-Jewish bigotry\, violence\, and discrimination in U.S. history reveals a far more complex reality. What binds anti-Jewish episodes and movements in the United States is the desire to undermine and even eliminate Jews’ civil and political rights. Historically\, Christian nationalism\, racial science\, and conspiratorial thinking constitute the three forces that have inspired that objective.  \nUsing archival sources spanning from 1654 through the present\, Dr. Tevis will illuminate an array of forgotten examples of antisemitism in the United States to re

SUMMARY:Textual Audacity: Talmud for the Progressive Soul with Rav Avigayil Halpern
DESCRIPTION:Each class will be a deep dive into one Talmudic text on a topic relevant to Jews engaged with the Left. We’ll use some supplemental materials to inform our reading\, but the core of our study will be the Talmud and its commentaries. Everyone is welcome\, but the target audience is Jewish people seeking spiritual nourishment as we engage in the work of building a better world\, whatever that looks like for you! \nThe class time will be split between chavruta (paired independent study\, with guidance from me) and full-group discussion. My goal is for the full-group discussion to feel exciting\, stimulating\, and accessible to people with a wide range of previous Talmud experience\, whether this is your first time encountering the Talmud or you learn Gemara regularly. I will strive to match chavrutot based on your learning needs and goals\, particularly around preferring to learn in the original language or in translation. Consider inviting a friend who you might like to be your chavruta!  \nT

SUMMARY:Interfaith Couples Workshop with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:This is a four-week discussion-based course designed for couples in their 20s and early 30s who do not yet have children. The workshop is held four to five times throughout the year. This cohort meets on Wednesdays\, August 6 – 27 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.   \nRabbi Aaron facilitates a guided\, nonjudgmental space for Jews and their non-Jewish partners to talk\, learn\, and grow – together and as individuals. Each week the class discusses case studies\, written by the couples\, on a specific instance that the Jewish and non-Jewish partner felt raised questions in their relationship.  \nText studies and articles supplement the class. Couples should make time for an additional hour each week to discuss the case studies with their partners.  \nNo one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds. For more information\, please contact our Jewish Life Associate\, Robyn. \nRegistration for this series closes on Wednesday\, July 30 at Noon.
