SUMMARY:Va’ani Tefilati: Celebrating Cantor Elias Rosemberg’s 18 Years at Temple Emanuel
DESCRIPTION:18 years ago\, after an extensive search\, Cantor Elias Rosemberg was chosen as Temple Emanuel’s new Hazzan. On his first Shabbat as Hazzan\, Rabbi Samuel Chiel z”l offered the following prayer\, as retold by Rabbi Robinson when Cantor Rosemberg received the Hiddur Mitzvah Award: \n“We pray: va’ani tefilati\, which our siddur translates as ‘I offer my prayer to you.’ Rabbi Chiel suggested another reading. Not I offer my prayer\, but rather\, I am my prayer. It’s not only about how you sing. It’s also about how you live. It’s not only about what you do on the bimah. It’s about what you do in life. Don’t just sing a prayer. Be a prayer. That was Rabbi Chiel’s blessing.” \nCantor Rosemberg has continued to embody this blessing over the past 18 years\, not only offering us his voice\, but also his leadership\, guidance\, and creativity. From Shabbat Alive! every week to his concerts\, he always finds new ways to enrich our prayer and community here at Temple Emanuel. \nWe look forward to celebrating Cantor Rosemberg’s 18 years of dedication and spiritual leadership on Sunday\, November 30\, with support from Sisterhood Temple Emanuel! \nAt this time\, we have hit our capacity limit and are not accepting more registrations. To be placed on the waitlist\, please email AJ at ahelman@templeemanuel.com. \nCo-sponsored by Sisterhood Temple Emanuel

SUMMARY:Sisterhood Tuesday Morning Study Group
DESCRIPTION:With Rabbi Wes Gardenswartz\n\nThe theme of Tuesday Sisterhood Torah study is the power of “And.” How two things that are in direct conflict with one another can both be true. That is true in life. That is true in Torah study. Solomon was the wisest King and the author of Song of Songs\, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. And Solomon violated all the Torah’s rules about a Jewish king. The Torah says not too many horses\, Solomon had too many horses. Not too much silver and gold\, Solomon had too much silver and gold. Not too many foreign wives as they will turn the King’s heart towards the worship of false Gods. Solomon has too many wives and they turned him into an idolater. \nWe will study the Torah\, and we will think about our lives\, through the evocative lens of “And”. \n\nJoin in on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Close Reading: Sons and Daughters by Chaim Grade - A Jewish Novel Taught by Dr. Susanne Klingenstein
DESCRIPTION:The sharp Yiddish novelist\, Chaim Grade\, described the falling apart of the orthodox world in Eastern Europe in the 1930s. Sons and daughters of rabbis get out of the shtetl\, but the fathers claw them back through guilt. Grade’s characters are incredibly alive; they are goofy\, mad\, heroic and wise. The novel is long\, learned and confusing\, so we will read it together at the clip of 50 pages each week\, accompanied by one of discussion each week to help understand the religious world of the Lithuanian rabbis. \nClass dates: Nov 6\, 13\, 20\, Dec 4\, 11\, 17\, 30\, Jan 8\, 15\, 26\, 29\, Feb 5\nAll classes will meet on Zoom. \nCost: (Scholarships available)\n \n$180 for Temple Emanuel Members\n$250 for Non-Members \nThis class is now at capacity. \nAbout Dr. Susanne Klingenstein\nDr. Susanne Klingenstein is an Associate at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University. She served as professor of Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT\, as Lecturer in the Humanities at Harvard Medical School\, and as Director of the Communication Curriculum in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
