1:00p Lunch & Learn
We are looking forward eagerly to the resumption of our Wednesday afternoon study sessions. On Wednesday, January 18, at 1:00, we will begin our study of Jewish women thinkers—a study that will continue until the end of this semester.
We will look together at women who have challenged traditional ideas about God and Jewish community as well as challenging the structures of authority and the transmission of Jewish knowledge in the modern Jewish world.We'll be starting with a discussion of Rachel Adler, the author of Engendering Judaism, a critique and expansion of halakhah (Jewish law) on feminist terms. Rabbi Ariann will be talking deeply about Adler's later work, but you might be interested in re-reading one of her earlier essays, “The Jew Who Wasn't There,” Or you could watch this great (short) video of her.

Love, betrayal, loneliness and belligerence will all take their turns in this decidedly post Bnai Mitzvah text study.

Join us for a crash course on Reconstructionism - perfect for the beginner, the founding member, and everyone in between.

- How is Reconstructionist thought continuous with or a break from Jewish tradition?
- What does it mean to pray as a Reconstructionist?
- How do Reconstructionists understand Torah?
- What does it mean for God to be "non-supernatural"?
