A Restoration of All Things—An Intra-Faith Introduction to Mormon History & Theology @ Temple Chai
Aug 7 @ 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm

Join Valley Beit Midrash for an “off-Broadway” review of the Mormons.  Learn the fundamentals of Mormon beliefs from a speaker who has experienced the Mormon faith as a missionary in a white shirt and tie, a leader in the Church hierarchy, a parent raising children within a minority faith tradition, and a businessman in the secular world.  Learn why a church with “Latter-day” in its name places such emphasis on the restoration of ancient blessings. Mr. Smith also will share his views on what the Jewish and Mormon faiths have in common.  As Mr. Smith’s good friend Rabbi Jeremy Schneider of Temple Kol Ami has taught, “ ‘Who is wise?” The answer, ‘One who learns from ALL people’ (Pirkei Avot 4:1).
