SUMMARY:Rabbi Samuel Chiel Kallah: Shabbat Morning Service
DESCRIPTION:Sermon Topic: Campus Chaos – A View from Inside Academia Today \nAntisemitism\, Activism\, AI\, Administrative Upheaval\, Anticipations undermined…Rabbi Dr. Pamela Barmash has been a professor for two decades at Washington University in St. Louis. In the past two years\, so much has changed. Yet her department\, Jewish Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies\, has managed to be an oasis of respectful conversation. Could this be a model for life beyond the University? What can we learn from her experience on campus?

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: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.
