Great Jewish Debates:
Monthly adult learning
led by Rav Dena Glasgow
While each session in this series stands
alone, they all highlight
Jewish disputes over the ages.
The next session will be Sunday January 10 at 1:00 PM on the topic “The
Jewish Practice of Setting
Aside
”. In the Bible, the institution of Shabbat comes out of
direct
experience. In the wilderness, the double portion of manna rains down
from the skies on the sixth day so that the Israelites will have no
need to depart from their home in search of food on Shabbat. Shabbat
thus becomes a day of rootedness, of staying put, of setting aside
[separating] from certain weekday behaviors. But how are we to
understand what that means? In this session, we will look at the
diversity of ways to experience “setting aside/separating”and how such
a practice could make sense in our own lives.
If you are interested in participating, please contact the
Betenu office.
