SUMMARY:CTI Scholar in Residence

A look at whether halakha is all about obedience\, rule-following and details\, or whether it is meant to give us religious and moral guidance and how it can help us grapple with the vexing issues of our lives. \nMay 16\, Shabbat Morning: Making Torah Accessible to All – The Mishkan was placed in the center of the Israelite camp so that God and holiness could be accessible by all. How do we realize that ideal in our community and in our religious leadership? \nMay 16\, Seudah Shlishit: We Will Do and We Will Hear – Insights of Sfat Emet on Shavuot – With Shavuot just one week away\, we will look at some writings by Sfat Emet\, the Gerer Rebbe\, and his understanding of what it means to be drawn to a life of observance (“we will do”) and/or of meaning (“we will hear”). \nRabbi Linzer will deliver his May 15 Friday night talk at a Communal Dinner\, catered by Gail’s Catering\, in the Epstein Community Hall of the Dell JCC\, immediately following services. Please note that Mincha / Kabbalat Shabbat services will be held at B’nai Abraham\, and will start at 7:00PM!
