The Influence of the Early Rabbis on Contemporary Jewish Life
Tuesday, September 26, Noon – 1 pm
Following the destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70, Jewish life could have simply ceased to exist. Minus its central place of worship, the very heart of the people had been cut out. It took a remarkably special group of individuals — determined to keep Judaism alive — to actually keep it alive … and make it THRIVE! This interactive session will focus on the early literature of these Rabbis (Pirkey Avot), and examine how these incredible texts “inform” our Jewish lives today — especially during the High Holiday season! Bring a dairy/vegetarian lunch or purchase a lunch from the Café at the J!
