Friday Night Chavurah - “Law and Disorder: My Courthouse Stories”

 A tragicomic account, written and performed by BK congregant Labe Richman of his time as a public defender in the South Bronx in the 80's. This monologue depicts the serious, emotional, crazy and comedic episodes in his life in law -- from kindergarten to the courtroom. Inspired by real events, details have been combined from different cases, and, of course, names and facts have been changed to protect the guilty and the innocent in these stories. Labe devotes his energies to undoing convictions that can lead to deportations and other immigration issues.

9:00a POETRY AND PRAYER: TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH?
It’s been said that poetry is what remains when all the words are gone, but prayer is what was there before there were any words to express it. Or is it the other way around?

Join BK congregant Martin Golan to explore how poetry and prayer spring from the same source, the human need to cry out to the heavens to express the glory -- and the anguish -- of being alive. Feel free to bring in examples of prayers that you think are poems, or vice versa.
