gps judaism comes to csiThe Bernard SiegelScholar-in-ResidenceProgram ofCongregationShearith IsraelAn interview with Rabbi William GershonWhy is Shearith Israel hosting a month-long scholarin residence program?The Talmud asks the question: “Which is greater, study oraction?” And the Talmud responds: “Study is greater, sincestudy leads to action.” Learning is the basis for leading arich, meaningful and beautiful Jewish life. This year ourcongregation is under taking one of the most creative stepsin adult Jewish learning as we will devote a entire monthto serious in depth Jewish learning. The idea of an intensemonth of Jewish learning actually comes from the Jewishtradition in a custom called hakel, where the farmers whocouldn’t study on daily basis would all gather in Jerusalemonce a year to learn. This month of learning is crucial forevery member of Shearith Israel. I want you to commityourself to attending as many sessions as you can. This isthe year to dedicate ourselves to the value of Talmud torah,of Torah study.Is this a first for Shearith Israel?Yes, but not for Noam. He has been the scholar at over25 extended scholar-in-residence programs at temples,synagogues and Federations around the United Statesand has been a featured scholar-in-residence in over 50synagogues and temples across America. This is his firstvisit to Dallas. On a personal note, I have been studyingwith Noam for the last two summers at the Shalom HartmanInstitute in Jerusalem.Why is Shearith hosting Noam for the community?Shearith Israel has always had an open door to thecommunity. We put great emphasis to creating community,because a community has shared values and shareddestiny. We want Noam to share the knowledge andexcitement beyond our walls. We want to reach as manyJews as possible. The classes and programs with Noam willtake place at a variety of venues, including CongregationShearith Israel (Douglas and Beit Aryeh at the Ann andNate Levine Academy), the Aaron Family JCC, area dayschools, coffee shops, restaurants, homes and other venuesthroughout the community. Noam will offer practical ideasfor you to bring your Judiasm back home “to the table,” be itfor Shabbat, holidays or daily life. We have an amazing giftto share in Noam’s month-long visit. Our goal is to makesure everyone not only knows about it, but participates init.The logo for this program is a GPS, a modern day compassto get you where you want to go. We begin from differentplaces, and we will each use our distinctive, internal “GPS”to track our Jewish destinations on our own Jewish journeys.We hope you will join us for the journey.How do we learn more about this program?Stay tuned!
