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.
