Visit Islamic Center for Friday Prayers

Rabbi Elliott and Rabbi Ariann would like to invite you to join them on Friday 12/9 for a visit to the Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC) for Friday prayers.

 

Over the years Bnai Keshet has built a relationship with ICPC through study, visiting each other for worship and service, notably at the St. Paul Mens' Shelter where we prepare and serve a meal together monthly. Our rabbis initiated this visit to express solidarity with the Muslim community at this moment of increased anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate crimes.

 

The mosque is located at 152 Derrom Ave. Paterson, NJ 07504. Services begin at 1 PM and there may be an opportunity to eat and socialize following services.

 

For those who would like to carpool we will be leaving from the Bnai Keshet parking lot at 12:15 PM.

 

Let us know if you'll be joining us

Why do so many Jewish writers create negative Jewish characters, offering up unappealing, even repulsive, images of ourselves in fiction and film. Philip Roth and others are known for this, at least in some work, to say nothing of movies and TV shows where “shiksappeal” runs rampant and Jewish women are whiny, sexless, materialistic shrews and Jewish men are schlubby, needy, (Jewish) mama’s boys who can barely don a tallis without getting the tzitz caught in their zipper.

We’ll read some of the best (or worst) examples of this and discuss.
