israel scholar-iN-resideNce SAVE THE DATES, DECEMBER 9 AND 10, FOR A VERY SPECIAL SHABBAT ON CONTEMPORARY ISRAELI SPIRITUALITY. Rabbi Naamah Kelman, Dean of the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, will be our Scholarin-Residence. She is a descendent of 10 generations of rabbis and, in 1992, became the first woman ordained by the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem. Born and raised in New York, Rabbi Kelman has lived in Israel since 1976, working in community organizing, Jewish education and the promotion and establishment of Progressive and Pluralistic Judaism for Israelis. Rabbi Kelman is one of the founders of the first Progressive (reform) Day school and is a leader in interfaith dialogue and the cause of women’s rights in Israel. Our Shabbat together will be conducted in the style of the Bet Tefila Yisraeli (new Israeli Secular Spirituality). On Friday night, please join us at 7:00pm for a lively Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service led by Rabbi Kelman and Rabbi Berman, followed by an Oneg Shabbat with singing and teaching. Shabbat morning, our service will begin at 9:30am and combine singing, poetry, and interactive learning, led by Rabbi Kelman and our Rabbis and Cantor. Finally, at 12:15pm, we’ll join together for lunch and a talk by Rabbi Kelman on the state of spiritual life and religious pluralism in Israel today. We will offer special programming for children and childcare both Friday evening and Saturday morning. This program is partially funded by a grant from Nefesh B’nefesh and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism through their Maalot program – to enhance our congregation’s connection to Israel.
