Please join us as we warmly welcome Rabbi Fisher to Beth El again this weekend (March 1st-3rd). Rabbi Fisher will lead services Friday night and Shabbat morning.
Rabbi Fisher will teach OBM on Tuesday, March 5th at 7:30 pm (in person and on zoom). The topic is: Living with Difference: Being in Community Across a Spectrum of Views. In a polarized world where emotions are high, how do we engage in values-based conversations within the context of a community with a wide range of views. Rabbi Fisher will draw from classical and contemporary Jewish texts to help explore the topic.
Please note that Rabbi Fisher was originally scheduled to teach OBM this Tuesday, February 27th instead we are encouraging people to attend Dr. Kurtzer’s presentation at Temple Israel of New Rochelle (see below for details).
