Adult Learning Opportunities This Week

Wednesday, 8PM - Israel Today

Jerusalem: We are approaching the date that marks 50 years to the Six Day War and to what some would call the unification of Jerusalem, and some would call the occupation (June 7, 1967). How was the reunification/occupation perceived then and now?

Shabbat, 9AM - Torah Study with Rabbinic Intern Sarah Barasch-Hagan

We will study Parshat Behar-Bechukotai together and focus on the Jubilee/Shmita sabbatical laws which are covered in this portion. These are some of the favorite texts of modern social justice thought, so let's look at what they really see and talk together about both their limits and their transformative possibilities.

Shabbat, 10:30AM - Kaplan Minyan: Ron Kaplan to speak at Kaplan Minyan about his new book on Hank Greenberg

“Hammerin’” Hank Greenberg in 1938 chronicles the events of 1938, both on the baseball diamond and in the streets of Europe. As Greenberg’s bat had him on course for Babe Ruth’s home run record, Hitler’s “Final Solution” was beginning to take shape. Jews across the United States, worried about the issues overseas, looked to Greenberg as a symbol of hope. Though hesitant to speak about the anti-Semitism he dealt with, the slugger knew the role he was playing for so many of his people, saying “I came to feel that if I, as a Jew, hit a home run, I was hitting one against Hitler.”
