| Interest Group May 22 at 10:00AM This month the Interest Group will be hosting special guest, Rabbi Nir Barkin. Rabbi Barkin is a rabbi of Congregation YOZMA in Modi’in, Israel. In 2007 Congregation YOZMA literally made groundbreaking history when it became the first non- Orthodox, government-funded synagogue in the history of the State of Israel. As a representative of the rapidly growing progressive Jewish community in Israel, Rabbi Barkin will be addressing the changes taking place in Israeli society towards a more liberal entity. Through his personal family path (which goes back 5 generations in Israel), he will help us understand the evolution of a progressive religious voice in a nation that is dominated by orthodoxy. Come early for coffee and bagels and bring a friend. |
| Homes Open for Seder If there is anyone having a family Seder on Monday, March 25 who has seats available for guests, would you please let Melissa at the temple office know? Our Seder at the temple is limited and we would like everyone to have a place to attend. |
