Yet Proverbs counsels us that the “beginning o f wisdom is the fear of God.” Those visceral emotions\, at least at firs t glance\, seem conflicting rather than complementary. So which is the cor e and foundation of our relationship with God – love or fear? Which appr oach takes priority? Both love and fear of God are crucial religious direc tives\, but reconciling them can be challenging. Please join congregant Ma rc Ashley for his annual adult education class between Pesah and Shavuot. This year’s course\, “A Case of Mixed Emotions: Love and Fear of God i n Jewish Thought\,” will be held in the Or Zarua library on Sunday\, Apr il 28 at 10 am\, and on Monday evenings on May 6 and May 13 at 7:30 pm.

The New York Times made “Keep the Change” a ‘Critics’ Pick’\, and called it “awfully tenderhearted and thoroughly disarming.” Other critics sa id\, “Under the guise of an off-kilter New York romantic comedy\, “Kee p the Change” offers a refreshingly honest portrait of a community seldo m depicted on the big screen.

Beyond be ing reminders about what day of the week is ahead of us each day they help us recall and focus upon important themes for our lives and our world. Fi nally\, the class will turn to passages that remind us about key lists in our tradition. Among those lists included in certain siddurim are: the Ram bam’s 13 Principles\, the Ten Commandments and a list of ten special mom ents in Jewish history. Why those? What challenges do they offer at the en d of a prayer service? Opportunities?

Who Can Bear Witness? Kings\, Judges\, And t he Great Men and\nWomen Of Israel. (Chapter 2 of Masekhet Sanhedrin)\nSome chapters of Talmud go deep into questions that resonate in our times. Are the High Priest and Kind above the law? The Rabbis inquire about those wh o hold high office as well as everyday\nas everyday souls. Their explorati ons connect us with biblical personalities and the men and women of the Ta lmudic era. What are the limits that the Torah imposes on leaders? Did tha t legislation stick? What are the checks and balances in the Divine law an d discerned laws of the Sages that help society manage its way forward and for human beings to serve in holy ways as leaders? Exploring our past thr ough this dynamic chapter means getting a sense of the legal systems the R abbis designed as well as their philosophical implications for our era. Ca n a High Priest be a judge or a witness? Does a King stand trial? Who dese rves to be a law-giver or a law-maker? Join our class for every meeting or come into the learning when you can! We read the texts in the original an d in translation. Rabbi Bolton explicates the passages and he brings to be ar research that extends the topical material that appears in the Babyloni an Talmud. Purchase Volume 1 of Sanhedrin in the Artscroll Hebrew/English edition. While it is not required to have the volume for class it is highl y recommended. Copies of the pages are not distributed. Talmudic study\, e ven for those who  have never had exposure\, can be a delight for the min d and a wonderful Jewish experience. For those with background the investi gations of the content of the Gemara coupled with the research extensions invites a fresh read and look at well-known Talmudic material.\n\nNo previ ous Talmud study\, nor knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic\, is required.

Perelman Professor o f Jewish Studies\, Professor of Religion\, Princeton University\n\n\nThis year’s Annual Lucy S. Dawidowicz Lecture will focus on Edith Stein (1891 -1942)\, who was murdered in Auschwitz in August of 1942. Born to a Jewish family\, she was baptized into the Catholic faith on New Year’s Day 192 2. In October 1933\, she began the process of becoming a Carmelite Nun in which capacity she would take the name “Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. ” Pope John Paul II beatified Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross on Ma y 1\, 1987 and eleven years later\, on October 11\, 1998\, he canonized he r. One year later\, Pope John Paul II further declared St. Teresa Benedic ta a patron saint of the European Union.\n\nDespite her conversion\, Stein continued to see herself as a Jew\, a point that the Church emphasized in its canonization of Stein. Catholics and Jews have had jarringly differen t reactions to Stein’s canonization. Pope John Paul II\, who more than a ny other Pope devoted himself to Jewish-Christian relations\, saw Stein’ s canonization as an opportunity for Christian and Jewish reconciliation.\ n\nIt is exactly the hybridity that is proclaimed in the name of Edith Ste in that many Jews have opposed. The historian Arthur Hertzberg\, never kno wn for understatement\, bluntly sums up the Jewish response:\nEdith Stein was murdered in Auschwitz. Pope John Paul II has hailed her a holy martyr to her Christian faith\, and in 1998 she was declared a saint for the Roma n Catholic Church. This estimate sits very badly among Jews\, who know tha t Edith Stein was not sent to Auschwitz for her Christian convictions or p iety\; she was forced to her death because she had been born a Jew. As she inhaled the Zyklon B in the gas chamber\, did Edith Stein really think sh e was dying as a sacrifice for the Church?\nThere are multiple reasons—e motional\, historical\, political\, theological—for these divergent resp onses to the meaning of Stein’s death. The talk focuses on the theologic al dimensions of the discord. This includes consideration of the history o f Jewish-Christian dialogue and especially debates about Christian superse ssionism\, Stein’s relation to her contemporary Franz Rosenzweig who him self almost converted to Christianity\, as well Stein’s arguments about empathy\, the subject of her dissertation written under the direction of t he founder of modern phenomenology\, Edmund Husserl\, himself a Jewish con vert to Christianity.\n\n\n\nLeora Batnitzky joined the Princeton faculty in 1997. Her teaching and research interests include philosophy of religi on\, modern Jewish thought\, hermeneutics\, and contemporary legal and pol itical theory. In 2002 she received Princeton’s President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching. She is the author of Idolatry and Representation: The Philosophy of Franz Rosenzweig Reconsidered (Princeton\, 2000)\, Leo S trauss and Emmanuel Levinas: Philosophy and the Politics of Revelation (Ca mbridge\, 2006)\, and How Judaism Became a Religion: An Introduction to Mo dern Jewish Thought (Princeton\, 2011). She is currently working on two bo oks\, the first a comparative study of conversion controversies in Israel and India\, tentatively titled “What is Religious Freedom? The Case of C onversion in Israel and India\,” and the second on the Jewish apostate a nd Catholic saint Edith Stein\, tentatively titled “The Continued Releva nce of Edith Stein for Jewish and Christian Self-Understanding.”  She i s co-editor\, with Ilana Pardes\, of The Book of Job: Aesthetics\, Ethics and Hermeneutics (de Gruyter\, 2014)\, with Hanoch Dagan\, of Institutiona lizing Rights and Religion (Cambridge University Press\, 2017)\, with Yona tan Brafman\, of an anthology Jewish Legal Theories (Brandies Library of M odern Jewish Thought\, 2018) and\, with Ra’anan Boustan\, of the journal Jewish Studies Quarterly.  Along with Vivian Liska and Ilana Pardes\, sh e is co-director of the international Center for Bible\, Culture\, and Mod ernity\, https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/projects/bible-culture-modernity/.  She served as Chair of the Department of Religion from 2010-2019.\n\nNo charge\, but please let us know if you plan on attending.

Can a High Pries t be a judge or a witness? Does a King stand trial? Who deserves to be a l aw-giver or a law-maker? Join our class for every meeting or come into the learning when you can! We read the texts in the original and in translati on. Rabbi Bolton explicates the passages and he brings to bear research th at extends the topical material that appears in the Babylonian Talmud. Pur chase Volume 1 of Sanhedrin in the Artscroll Hebrew/English edition. While it is not required to have the volume for class it is highly recommended. Copies of the pages are not distributed. Talmudic study\, even for those who  have never had exposure\, can be a delight for the mind and a wonder ful Jewish experience. For those with background the investigations of the content of the Gemara coupled with the research extensions invites a fres h read and look at well-known Talmudic material.\n\nNo previous Talmud stu dy\, nor knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic\, is required.

Please use this link to join: URL:\n\nLink: https://zoo m.us/j/832425240\n\nJoin the Siddur Class in 5780 for explorations of the themes and language of our Yizkor prayers\, as well as funeral liturgies. In general the class explores the history\, forms\, content and meaning of Jewish liturgy and prayer rites\, and members of the learning community d eliberate about the prayer experience (t’fillah) and encounters with the Jewish liturgy. Translating the language of the prayerbook helps gain acc ess to the poetry and Biblical passages that are included in service of t ’fillah. After an exploration of Yizkor and funeral liturgies (psalms an d memorial prayers)\, the Psalms of the Day will be studied. Beyond being reminders about what day of the week is ahead of us each day they help us recall and focus upon important themes for our lives and our world. Finall y\, the class will turn to passages that remind us about key lists in our tradition. Among those lists included in certain siddurim are: the Rambam ’s 13 Principles\, the Ten Commandments and a list of ten special moment s in Jewish history. Why those? What challenges do they offer at the end o f a prayer service? Opportunities? What makes this class so dynamic is a c ombination of the study of our prayers and the engaging\, open conversatio n among participants. There is a dynamic culture of learning to be part of on Thursday mornings\, so plan to join in after the High Holidays and Suk kot. Put it on your calendar\; make time for Jewish learning in the year a head.

After the ritual s we will hear a brief introduction to the film "Defiant Requiem" provided by Maestro Murry Sidlin\, the President and Creative Director of the Defi ant Requiem Foundation\, and the creator of the “Defiant Requiem” conc ert/drama performance.\n"Defiant Requiem" is a Documentary Film Honoring t he Prisoners of Terezín. It was nominated for two 2014 Documentary Emmy A wards. During the oppressive days of World War II in 1942\, the Nazis esta blished a unique ghetto/ concentration camp outside Prague in an old army garrison known as Terezín\, which the Germans renamed Theresienstadt. It was unlike any other Nazi concentration camp: the Nazis used the site to perpetuate an elaborate scheme to deceive the world into believing that th ey were treating prisoners humanely. The truth is that Terezín served as a brutal camp where thousands died of malnutrition and disease. If you we re lucky enough to survive Terezín\, your ultimate destination was Auschw itz.\nDefiant Requiem is a documentary film which illuminates the extraord inary\, untold story of the brave acts of resistance by the Jewish prisone rs at Terezín and has been shown worldwide in classrooms and with private organizations to starkly confront the evils of historic and contemporary anti-Semitism.

Accordingly\, the affirmative concept of kiddush Hashem (the duty to sanctify God’s name)\, and the inverse and complementary principle of chilul Hashem (the obligation to avoid desecrat ing God’s name)\, have become core ideas in Jewish thought. But what doe s kiddush Hashem mean in both theory and practice? How\, in our concrete b ehavior\, are we to sanctify God’s name\, and to what lengths must we go to fulfill this essential commandment? Should we\, in our abiding commitm ent to God\, sometimes sacrifice our lives for the Jewish cause? Over time \, Jews concluded that even the essential principle of preserving life was superseded\, under particular traumatic circumstances\, by the equally co mpelling imperative to sanctify God’s name. From brutal Roman persecutio n of the Rabbis\, to the decimation of the medieval Crusades\, to the vast horror of the Holocaust\, holiness could give way to martyrdom. Please jo in us for a discussion of these important issues in Jewish thought\, histo ry and experience.

Please use this link to join: URL:  https://zoom.us/j/720508990\n\nWe're back to Masekhet Sanhedrin and cont inuing to explore the themes of authority\, accountability\, sexual ethics and whether we should be star-struck about our leaders.\n\n(full descript ion) Some chapters of Talmud go deep into questions that resonate in our t imes. Are the High Priest and Kind above the law? The Rabbis inquire about those who hold high office as well as everyday\nas everyday souls. Their explorations connect us with biblical personalities and the men and women of the Talmudic era. What are the limits that the Torah imposes on leaders ? Did that legislation stick? What are the checks and balances in the Divi ne law and discerned laws of the Sages that help society manage its way fo rward and for human beings to serve in holy ways as leaders? Exploring our past through this dynamic chapter means getting a sense of the legal syst ems the Rabbis designed as well as their philosophical implications for ou r era. Can a High Priest be a judge or a witness? Does a King stand trial? Who deserves to be a law-giver or a law-maker? Join our class for every m eeting or come into the learning when you can! We read the texts in the or iginal and in translation. Rabbi Bolton explicates the passages and he bri ngs to bear research that extends the topical material that appears in the Babylonian Talmud. Purchase Volume 1 of Sanhedrin in the Artscroll Hebrew /English edition. While it is not required to have the volume for class it is highly recommended. Copies of the pages are not distributed.

In general the class explores the history\, forms\, content and meaning of Jewish liturgy and prayer rites\, and members of the learn ing community deliberate about the prayer experience (t’fillah) and enco unters with the Jewish liturgy. Translating the language of the prayerbook helps gain access to the poetry and Biblical passages that are included i n service of t’fillah. After an exploration of Yizkor and funeral liturg ies (psalms and memorial prayers)\, the Psalms of the Day will be studied. Beyond being reminders about what day of the week is ahead of us each day they help us recall and focus upon important themes for our lives and our world. Finally\, the class will turn to passages that remind us about key lists in our tradition. Among those lists included in certain siddurim ar e: the Rambam’s 13 Principles\, the Ten Commandments and a list of ten s pecial moments in Jewish history. Why those? What challenges do they offer at the end of a prayer service? Opportunities? What makes this class so d ynamic is a combination of the study of our prayers and the engaging\, ope n conversation among participants.

Who Can Bear Witness? Kings\, Judges\, And t he Great Men and Women Of Israel. (Chapter 2 of Masekhet Sanhedrin)\n\nThi s session will be take place via Zoom. Please use this link to join: URL:  https://zoom.us/j/720508990\n\nWe're back to Masekhet Sanhedrin and cont inuing to explore the themes of authority\, accountability\, sexual ethics and whether we should be star-struck about our leaders.\n\n(full descript ion) Some chapters of Talmud go deep into questions that resonate in our t imes. Are the High Priest and Kind above the law? The Rabbis inquire about those who hold high office as well as everyday\nas everyday souls. Their explorations connect us with biblical personalities and the men and women of the Talmudic era. What are the limits that the Torah imposes on leaders ? Did that legislation stick? What are the checks and balances in the Divi ne law and discerned laws of the Sages that help society manage its way fo rward and for human beings to serve in holy ways as leaders? Exploring our past through this dynamic chapter means getting a sense of the legal syst ems the Rabbis designed as well as their philosophical implications for ou r era. Can a High Priest be a judge or a witness? Does a King stand trial? Who deserves to be a law-giver or a law-maker? Join our class for every m eeting or come into the learning when you can! We read the texts in the or iginal and in translation. Rabbi Bolton explicates the passages and he bri ngs to bear research that extends the topical material that appears in the Babylonian Talmud. Purchase Volume 1 of Sanhedrin in the Artscroll Hebrew /English edition. While it is not required to have the volume for class it is highly recommended. Copies of the pages are not distributed. Talmudic study\, even for those who  have never had exposure\, can be a delight fo r the mind and a wonderful Jewish experience. For those with background th e investigations of the content of the Gemara coupled with the research ex tensions invites a fresh read and look at well-known Talmudic material.\n\ nNo previous Talmud study\, nor knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic\, is requir ed.

We study the liturgy and exchange i deas about the minyan experience.\n\n(fuller description)\n\nThe Siddur is not only a prayer book but a repository for passages of study\, hymns to sing\, and glorious\, poetic songs. We will study passages from the Rambam like the Thirteen Principles of Faith\, collections of Torah verses prepa red for the worshipper who wanted to go right to study after prayers and o ther materials that were inserted into the post-service sections of printe d siddurim stemming from manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Of course\, alrea dy in the Talmud\, certain Sages would add personal prayers and pleas of t heir own after their recitations of the Amidah. Those personal prayer pass ages have made their way into some prayer rites\, as well\, at the end of morning services. They stand on their own as petitionary poetry\, and we w ill study them as stand alone liturgy. In this class we sing\, listen to t he music of prayer\, discuss prayer life and examine prayer language close ly. Come gain understandings and add meaning to prayer life. Join us at 8: 40 am on Thursdays after the holiday season.

In this year’s Tikkun talk – given in blessed memory of Sharon S eiler\,z”l – congregant Marc Ashley will explore crucial themes that a re reflected\,but often overlooked\, in Megillat Ruth\, which is tradition ally read on themorning of the second day of Shavuot. The end of Megillat Ruth definitivelyestablishes that Ruth\, a convert to Judaism\, is the gre at-grandmother of KingDavid\, who is viewed in classical Judaism as the an cestor of the Messiah. Forsome prominent Jewish thinkers\, the fact that t he Messiah’s lineage (or yichus)directly implicates a convert was proble matic\, raising thorny issues relatingto the essence of Jewishness and our self-understanding as a chosenpeople. Please join Marc as he discusses M egillat Ruth as a prism throughwhich to evaluate and appreciate pivotal co nceptions of Jewish identity\, chosennessand messianism.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/ 03/Ashley_Marc_Mug.jpg CATEGORIES:Virtual Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:278@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200528T084000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200528T100000 DTSTAMP:20200504T192437Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/siddur-class-with-rabbi-bolton-zoom-5/ SUMMARY:Siddur Class with Rabbi Bolton (Zoom) DESCRIPTION:When Prayer and Remembering Meet: Yizkor\, Funeral Rites\, Dail y Psalms and Reminders.\n\nThis class taking place through Zoom.

In general the class explores the history\, forms\, content and meaning of Jewish liturgy and prayer rites\, and members of the learn ing community deliberate about the prayer experience (t’fillah) and enco unters with the Jewish liturgy. Translating the language of the prayerbook helps gain access to the poetry and Biblical passages that are included i n service of t’fillah. After an exploration of Yizkor and funeral liturg ies (psalms and memorial prayers)\, the Psalms of the Day will be studied. Beyond being reminders about what day of the week is ahead of us each day they help us recall and focus upon important themes for our lives and our world. Finally\, the class will turn to passages that remind us about key lists in our tradition. Among those lists included in certain siddurim ar e: the Rambam’s 13 Principles\, the Ten Commandments and a list of ten s pecial moments in Jewish history. Why those? What challenges do they offer at the end of a prayer service? Opportunities? What makes this class so d ynamic is a combination of the study of our prayers and the engaging\, ope n conversation among participants. There is a dynamic culture of learning to be part of on Thursday mornings\, so plan to join in after the High Hol idays and Sukkot. Put it on your calendar\; make time for Jewish learning in the year ahead.

Who Can Bear Witness? Kings\, Judges\, And t he Great Men and Women Of Israel. (Chapter 2 of Masekhet Sanhedrin)\n\nThi s session will be take place via Zoom. Please use this link to join: \n\n URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/720508990?pwd=ZG1BMG1FcUtvR2c2UnRRU3l3bkRhQ T09\n\nWe're back to Masekhet Sanhedrin and continuing to explore the them es of authority\, accountability\, sexual ethics and whether we should be star-struck about our leaders.\n\n(full description) Some chapters of Talm ud go deep into questions that resonate in our times. Are the High Priest and Kind above the law? The Rabbis inquire about those who hold high offic e as well as everyday\nas everyday souls. Their explorations connect us wi th biblical personalities and the men and women of the Talmudic era. What are the limits that the Torah imposes on leaders? Did that legislation sti ck? What are the checks and balances in the Divine law and discerned laws of the Sages that help society manage its way forward and for human beings to serve in holy ways as leaders? Exploring our past through this dynamic chapter means getting a sense of the legal systems the Rabbis designed as well as their philosophical implications for our era. Can a High Priest b e a judge or a witness? Does a King stand trial? Who deserves to be a law- giver or a law-maker? Join our class for every meeting or come into the le arning when you can! We read the texts in the original and in translation. Rabbi Bolton explicates the passages and he brings to bear research that extends the topical material that appears in the Babylonian Talmud. Purcha se Volume 1 of Sanhedrin in the Artscroll Hebrew/English edition. While it is not required to have the volume for class it is highly recommended. Co pies of the pages are not distributed. Talmudic study\, even for those who   have never had exposure\, can be a delight for the mind and a wonderful Jewish experience. For those with background the investigations of the co ntent of the Gemara coupled with the research extensions invites a fresh r ead and look at well-known Talmudic material.\n\nNo previous Talmud study\ , nor knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic\, is required.

In general the class explores the history\, forms\, content and meaning of Jewish liturgy and prayer rites\, and members of the learn ing community deliberate about the prayer experience (t’fillah) and enco unters with the Jewish liturgy. Translating the language of the prayerbook helps gain access to the poetry and Biblical passages that are included i n service of t’fillah. After an exploration of Yizkor and funeral liturg ies (psalms and memorial prayers)\, the Psalms of the Day will be studied. Beyond being reminders about what day of the week is ahead of us each day they help us recall and focus upon important themes for our lives and our world. Finally\, the class will turn to passages that remind us about key lists in our tradition. Among those lists included in certain siddurim ar e: the Rambam’s 13 Principles\, the Ten Commandments and a list of ten s pecial moments in Jewish history. Why those?

The Talmudic Sages\, through the paradigm of exploring the mitzva h of refraining from and even abolishing idol worship\, confront us with q uestions: how do we\, as Jews\, navigate living in a non-Jewish world? How much interaction and integration is acceptable\, when it comes to busines s or socializing with neighbors? Should there be any limits? The Rabbis' d iscussions and debates about the prohibition against idol worship is engag ed as a framework of thought concerning the Jewish People's place among th e nations of the world. From the beginning of Tractate Avodah Zarah (Idol Worship) the Sages expand on laws that seem black and white on their face but move us into discussions about living in the complex world of kaleidos copic humanity. Come join the learning no matter what your background. Stu dents may bring either the Artscroll Schottenstein Vol. 1 Avodah Zarah to class or the Koren Talmud Bavli Avoda Zara - Horayot volume.

Readings\, Songs and Passages of Study After the OfficialMorning Prayers\n\nThe Siddur is not only a pra yer book but a repository for passages of study\, hymns to sing\, and glor ious\, poetic songs. We will study passages from the Rambam like the Thirt een Principles of Faith\, collections of Torah verses prepared for the wor shipper who wanted to go right to study after prayers and other materials that were inserted into the post-service sections of printed siddurim stem ming from manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Of course\, already in the Talmu d\, certain Sages would add personal prayers and pleas of their own after their recitations of the Amidah. Those personal prayer passages have made their way into some prayer rites\, as well\, at the end of morning service s.

Joi ning us from the beautiful Lehigh Valley\, Drs. Cooperman and Lachter will reexamine historical strategies of expressing and navigating Jewishness i n challenging settings\, both medieval and modern.\n\nOn March 11\, Dr. Ha rtley Lachter\, Chair of the Department of Religion Studies\, Philip and M uriel Berman Chair in Jewish Studies\, and director of the Berman Center f or Jewish Studies at Lehigh University\, whose scholarly focus is medieval Jewish mysticism\, will give a lecture entitled What Can Kabbalah Teach Us About Jewish History? Kabbalah in the Middle Ages is often imagined as Judaism's best kept secret\, known only to a small elite. But an examinat ion of kabbalistic sources reveals that Kabbalah was a very public form of Jewish knowledge. In fact\, kabbalistic texts\, including the famous Sefe r ha-Zohar\, addressed all of the pressing social and political issues fac ing Jews in their daily lives. In particular\, Kabbalah provided medieval Jews with a way of understanding national trauma and historical misfortune as\, secretly\, steps on the path to Jewish redemption. Most importantly for Jews in Western Europe\, Kabbalah responded to negative Christian depi ctions of Jews and Jewish disempowerment. The creativity of medieval kabba lists became a vital part of the legacy of how Jews have created their own historical narrative.\n\nDr. Lachter’s scholarly work explores how medi eval Jewish-Christian debates\, as well as disruptive moments of violence and forced conversion\, shaped Jewish mystical literature. He is the autho r of Kabbalistic Revolution: Reimagining Judaism in Medieval Spain (Rutger s University Press 2014). His lecture will explore what kabbalistic texts can teach us about how Jews understood Jewish history—especially moments of crisis and setback—and how Kabbalah served as a form of resistance l iterature for many pre-modern Jews.

Joi ning us from the beautiful Lehigh Valley\, Drs. Cooperman and Lachter will reexamine historical strategies of expressing and navigating Jewishness i n challenging settings\, both medieval and modern.\n\nOn March 18\, as we approach and prepare forPesah\, Dr. Jessica Cooperman\, Associate Professo r of Religion Studies andDirector of Jewish Studies at Muhlenberg College\ , whose scholarship focuses on20th-century American Judaism and Jewish cul ture\, and on connections betweenreligion and state policy\, will give a l ecture entitled Passover Seders and Jewish-ChristianEngagement in Postwar America. Passover is often described as thequintessential American Jewish holiday\, celebrated by more American Jews thanany other religious ritual. Since the mid-20th century\, however\, seders havealso been reinterpreted as auspicious sites for Jewish-Christian engagement.While early modern Eu ropean Christian writing about Jews often depicted theseder as a mysteriou s\, secretive Jewish domestic ritual with sinisterassociations with murder and blood libel\, contemporary American engagementswith Passover have rad ically altered this depiction. The seder has been movedout of an exclusive ly Jewish realm and reconceived as an opportunity forgenuine connection be tween Jews and Christians through the celebration of aritual that an incre asing number of Christians have come to regard as animportant part of thei r own heritage.\n\nDr.Cooperman’s book\, Making Judaism Safe for America : World War I and theOrigins of Religious Pluralism (NYU Press 2018)\, rec eived an honorablemention for the bi-annual Saul Viener Book Prize in Amer ican Jewish History.Her current research explores sites of Jewish- Christi an dialogue andengagement in the post-World War II period. This lecture wi ll examine some ofthe ways American Jews and Christians have reimagined th eir engagement with thePassover seder\, both together and separately\, and consider how Jewish texts andpractices associated with Passover have been reinterpreted in order to servenew purposes and communities. An explorati on of these different approaches tothe seder will offer us a window into t he multiple and shifting dynamics ofJewish-Christian relations in the post -World War II United States.

It is a bedroc k Jewish commitment\, the cornerstone of an ideal community that has inspi red and shaped Western values for centuries. Jewish tradition teaches us t hat one of the three pillars of the world’s very existence is the perfor mance of acts of lovingkindness. The Torah urges us not only to achieve ju stice but to strive for it vigorously and implement it meticulously: “Ju stice\, justice shall you pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20). Yet what does Jew ish thought teach us about how social justice is to be realized?\nIn Judai sm\, justice and righteousness are two sides of the same coin\, conjoined by common aspirations. Indeed\, the Hebrew word tzedakah denotes both idea s\, in addition to defining properly motivated philanthropy that encompass es each. The means of establishing justice and embodying righteousness\, h owever\, must move beyond the abstract to the concrete.\nJewish tradition\ , from the Torah to the Talmud and beyond\, establishes procedural and sub stantive foundations of social justice\, defined by both broad principles and precise rules. Indeed\, Jewish law even recognizes its own limitations \, mandating that we sometimes must act beyond the letter of the law in pu rsuing justice. Because Judaism dictates that justice is a divine imperati ve\, and that we must seek to imitate God in the process\, figuring out ho w to manifest social justice based on Jewish values must be our greatest c oncern.\nPlease join congregant Marc Ashley on two Sunday mornings in Apri l on Zoom for his annual adult education class between Pesah and Shavuot.

Readings\, Songs and Passages of Study After the OfficialMorning Prayers\n\nThe Siddur is not only a pra yer book but a repository for passages of study\, hymns to sing\, and glor ious\, poetic songs. We will study passages from the Rambam like the Thirt een Principles of Faith\, collections of Torah verses prepared for the wor shipper who wanted to go right to study after prayers and other materials that were inserted into the post-service sections of printed siddurim stem ming from manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Of course\, already in the Talmu d\, certain Sages would add personal prayers and pleas of their own after their recitations of the Amidah. Those personal prayer passages have made their way into some prayer rites\, as well\, at the end of morning service s. They stand on their own as petitionary poetry\, and we will study them as stand alone liturgy. In this class we sing\, listen to the music of pra yer\, discuss prayer life and examine prayer language closely. Come gain u nderstandings and add meaning to prayer life.

The Talmudic Sages\, through the paradigm of exploring the mitzva h of refraining from and even abolishing idol worship\, confront us with q uestions: how do we\, as Jews\, navigate living in a non-Jewish world? How much interaction and integration is acceptable\, when it comes to busines s or socializing with neighbors? Should there be any limits?

Bradley Shavit Artson\n\nSunday\, Sept. 12\, 7:30pm\, registration requ ired on ZOOM\n\nTo register in advance for this Zoom meeting click HERE. A fter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing inform ation about joining the meeting.\n\nThe Book of Jonah is way more than a t ale about a whale (or a big fish). God calls out to the prophet\, and init ially Jonah resisted his sacred mission. God faced Jonah with many truths along his path\, and the situations in which he found himself required bot h compassion and critical analysis. This book of the Tanakh that is read a s the haftarah on Yom Kippur afternoon gets us into the deep waters of t's huvah.\n\nWill we accept more responsibility as partners with God in a wor ld that is full of conflict\, complexities and\, from human perspectives\, truths? Are truth and compassion in conflict? Do we shift true consequenc es for the sake of compassion? Do we mute compassion for the sake of objec tive consequences?\n\nRabbi Bradley Shavit Artson\, Dean of the Ziegler Sc hool of Rabbinic Studies and Professor of Philosophy at the American Jewis h University\, will explore these profound questions in a careful reading of the Book of Jonah. Rabbi Artson holds the Roslyn and Abner Goldstine De an’s Chair and is a master interpreter of our sacred canon.\n\nDr. Artso n is particularly interested in theology\, ethics\, and the integration of science and religion. He mentors Camp Ramah in California in Ojai and Ram ah of Northern California in the Bay Area. He is also dean of the Zacharia s Frankel College in Potsdam\, Germany\, ordaining Conservative rabbis for Europe. A frequent contributor for the Times of Israel\, the Forward\, an d a Contributing Writer for the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles\, he has a public figure Facebook page with over 70\,000 likes. Rabbi Artson i s the author of 12 books and over 250 articles\, most recently Renewing th e Process of Creation: A Jewish Integration of Science and Spirit. Married to Elana Artson\, they are the proud parents of twins\, Jacob and Shira.\ n\nThere is much to discover in the narratives of our tradition\, and Yona h’s story is particularly poignant when it comes to considering the spir itual work required of us during the Days of Awe. During the Yamim Noraim\ , each of us is called to assess our outlooks and understandings and take account of the sacred work we feel responsible for.\n\nJoin us for this ye ar’s T'shuvah Lecture on Sunday\, September 12th\, 7:30pm\, on ZOOM\; re gistration required.

The Talmudic discourse moves us into concerns about false witnesses and laws about manslaughters versus m urderers. Amid passages about offenses and their consequences we find theo logical and sociological reflections about crime\, criminals and criminali ty. As policy for Jewish courts is derived\, our Sages discuss the place o f retribution\, rehabilitation and restorative justice. Which offenses are minor breaches? Which more serious infractions? And do more lashes mean m ore expiation of guilt? Does receiving lashes somehow reverse the severe p unishment of excommunication?

Were the events of Hanukkah the last miracles in Jewish histo ry? Did God retire from miracle-making when those initial Hanukkah lights were extinguished more than two millennia ago? Hanukkah represents a criti cal juncture in Jewish thinking\, as it may constitute the last residue of God’s miraculous intervention in history. Please join congregant Marc A shley via Zoom for an illuminating discussion (perfect for the seventh day of the holiday!) of Hanukkah’s place in the miraculous trajectory of Je wish history.

Makkot is about crime and punishment\ , and Makkot is about human nature\, sin and pursuing justice.

There has been a chronic gap in blood donations since the start of the pandemic. Remote and blended learning has resulted in a 75% reduction in youth donations from high schools and colleges and remote work has als o resulted in hundreds of organizations no longer able to host blood drive s. At the same time\, the need for blood from patients in our local hospit als has increased by 10-15% from pre-pandemic levels\, from pent-up demand for treatment and surgeries postponed during the pandemic. We’re encour aging folks to give blood and/or help amplify the message on the need for blood in our community. Saving a life takes just an hour of your time. You can visit nybc.org to learn more. Use this link to schedule your donation for Feb. 27: https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/30198 2.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/ 02/blood-drive.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:684@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220228T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220228T130000 DTSTAMP:20220131T161843Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/zoom-torah-study-19/ SUMMARY:Zoom Torah Study DESCRIPTION:Zoom Torah Study\nJewish Ethics\, Jewish Wisdom\nThe Weekly Par sha in Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ Thought\nMondays\, 12:00 pm\n\nClick to joi n Torah Study\n\nMake time for Torah study during your busy week!

The Talmudic discourse moves us into concerns about false witne sses and laws about manslaughters versus murderers. Amid passages about of fenses and their consequences we find theological and sociological reflect ions about crime\, criminals and criminality. As policy for Jewish courts is derived\, our Sages discuss the place of retribution\, rehabilitation a nd restorative justice. Which offenses are minor breaches? Which more seri ous infractions? And do more lashes mean more expiation of guilt? Does rec eiving lashes somehow reverse the severe punishment of excommunication? Wh ile the Torah outlawed self-flagellation\, Hanina ben Gamliel said\, “If by the commission of a sin one forfeits his soul before God\, so much the more reason is there for belief that\, by a meritorious deed\, such as vo luntary submission to punishment\, his soul is saved.” The possibilities that Talmudic literature raises sometimes lead to particular laws and oth er times stand as thought exercises to explore important concepts or conce rns. Makkot is about crime and punishment\, and Makkot is about human natu re\, sin and pursuing justice.

Think of the wonder of David’s Psalms and its sacred healing e nergy.\nPoetry is a way of perceiving that is individualistic and unique t o its author’s vision. Poetry wakes up our senses as we move through a w orld of sound\, structure and meaning--very much aligned to music.\nI hope you will join us this Thursday evening at 7:00 pm to explore some of the multifarious voices in poetry\; voices that have the power to persuade and astonish. We will sip some wine\, share the poems we love and/or write an d with the help of some prompts taken from other artistic disciplines\, we will attempt to create a poem of our own making.\nWhat is your vision? Wh o are the poets that move and inspire you? Visit with us and share what yo u love about poetry or just listen to what inspires others. Together we ca n carve out a sacred\, poetic space as we remember and imitate the journey our ancestors took through the wilderness to revelation.\nShelley is a me mber of Or Zarua who attributes her love of all things Jewish to the two y ears she lived and studied in Jerusalem. She graduated from Columbia Unive rsity with Honors in English literature and acquired an M.F.A. in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. She has taught Creative Writing and Modern European Literature as an adjunct at The Lander School for Women\, Touro College. Her poetry is published in several literary magazines\, th e latest of which appear in the Jewish Literary Journal\, Fig Tree Newslet ter and The Curator. In addition her work is included in the recent poetry anthology\, Nothing Divine Dies\, A Poetry Anthology About Nature\, Vita Brevis Press.

The Talmudic discourse moves us into concerns about false witne sses and laws about manslaughters versus murderers. Amid passages about of fenses and their consequences we find theological and sociological reflect ions about crime\, criminals and criminality. As policy for Jewish courts is derived\, our Sages discuss the place of retribution\, rehabilitation a nd restorative justice. Which offenses are minor breaches? Which more seri ous infractions? And do more lashes mean more expiation of guilt? Does rec eiving lashes somehow reverse the severe punishment of excommunication? Wh ile the Torah outlawed self-flagellation\, Hanina ben Gamliel said\, “If by the commission of a sin one forfeits his soul before God\, so much the more reason is there for belief that\, by a meritorious deed\, such as vo luntary submission to punishment\, his soul is saved.” The possibilities that Talmudic literature raises sometimes lead to particular laws and oth er times stand as thought exercises to explore important concepts or conce rns. Makkot is about crime and punishment\, and Makkot is about human natu re\, sin and pursuing justice.

The Talmudic discourse moves us into c oncerns about false witnesses and laws about manslaughters versus murderer s. Amid passages about offenses and their consequences we find theological and sociological reflections about crime\, criminals and criminality. As policy for Jewish courts is derived\, our Sages discuss the place of retri bution\, rehabilitation and restorative justice. Which offenses are minor breaches? Which more serious infractions? And do more lashes mean more exp iation of guilt? Does receiving lashes somehow reverse the severe punishme nt of excommunication? While the Torah outlawed self-flagellation\, Hanina ben Gamliel said\, “If by the commission of a sin one forfeits his soul before God\, so much the more reason is there for belief that\, by a meri torious deed\, such as voluntary submission to punishment\, his soul is sa ved.” The possibilities that Talmudic literature raises sometimes lead t o particular laws and other times stand as thought exercises to explore im portant concepts or concerns. Makkot is about crime and punishment\, and M akkot is about human nature\, sin and pursuing justice.

Secrets live in the dark and are revea led by the light of day. The dance between light and dark imagery and the metaphors that grow out of this twinning abound in Judaism and point to th e secret of creation itself.\nIn the afterglow of Hanukkah lights\, we hav e time to ponder the light and dark tropes in Judaism and the poets who ha ve sought to embrace wisdom in these metaphors. Bring in the poetry of Byr on\, Wordsworth\, Shelley or your own glimmer of poetic light to share. We will read a few poems\, our own or those of others\, drink a little wine and\, if inspired\, try some generative work as we explore the spiritualit y inherent in light and dark imagery.\n\nNEW! The Poetry Happening is enth usiastic to have Simon Constam\, a Canadian Jewish poet and aphorist\, joi n us to read from his first published book of Poetry BROUGHT DOWN. He has published poetry in a number of magazines among them The Jewish Literary J ournal and Poetica Magazine.\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/ 05/6.23.22-Poetry-Happening.jpg CATEGORIES:Study END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:923@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230127T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230127T164000 DTSTAMP:20230111T194807Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/nazooz-after-school-3/ SUMMARY:NazoOZ After-School DESCRIPTION:Let’s get moving on Friday afternoons!\n\nThis week\, Shabbat begins at 4:49 PM.

It was an honor for Or Zarua to invest in the Ilanot Project’s groundbreaki ng work to introduce a new genre of Jewish mystical literature to the worl d through a magnificent new volume\, The Kabbalistic Tree\, (Pennsylvania University Press\, 2022). For the past decade\, Dr. Chajes has directed th e Ilanot Project\, an ambitious and unprecedented attempt to research the history of kabbalistic diagrams and the ilanot genre in particular. Dr. Ch ajes’s pioneering work has been awarded four consecutive Israel Science Foundation personal research grants\, three ISF research seminar grants\, an ISF book subvention award\, and the 2014 Friedenberg Prize for the outs tanding ISF-funded project in the humanities. Dr. Chajes has been awarded two consecutive grants by the German Ministry of Science and Culture of Lo wer Saxony/Volkswagen Foundation to partner with the digital humanities la b at the University of Göttingen to build a platform for the research and presentation of critical editions of ilanot online: Maps of God.\n\nProfe ssor Chajes's talk will introduce the genre of “ilanot” (trees)\, stri king parchment rolls devoted to visualizations of kabbalistic lore that ha ve been created and used by kabbalists since the fourteenth century for st udy and contemplation. These divinity maps were made wherever there were k abbalists throughout the Jewish world. Each has a unique story\; individua lly and collectively they offer new perspectives on the ways in which Jews visualized knowledge\, assimilated diverse traditions\, and interacted wi th contemporary cultures. Chajes’s The Kabbalistic Tree (PSUP\, 2022) is the first ever study of this practical expression of Kabbalah\, about whi ch he is the preeminent authority.

Emily Braun DESCRIPTION:Critics hailed the exhibition Cubism and the Trompe l’Oeil Tr adition\, recently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, for offering a new understanding of Cubism. This exhibition of still life demonstrated t he transhistorical connections between the tradition of visual deception a nd the meaning and method behind Cubist collages by Georges Braque\, Juan Gris and Pablo Picasso. Paradoxically\, the Cubist dialogue with trompe l ’oeil began just as these three artists began to dismantle the conventio ns of Western illusionism. Yet both trompe l’oeil and cubism engaged in issues of truth and falsehood\, originality and authenticity -- in art and in life. Please join us when Co-Curator of the exhibition Dr. Emily Braun (a fellow Or Zarua member) will give a talk on the exhibition\, its theme s\, and the logistics involved in organizing an international loan exhibit ion.\n\nDr. Braun will present an overview of the exhibition with images a nd a talk that highlights the reception of the exhibition\, as well as fur ther thoughts about the movements she connected.\n\nEmily (Mimi) Braun is Distinguished Professor at Hunter College and the Graduate Center\, CUNY a nd the Curator of the Leonard A. Lauder Collection. She is known internati onally as an expert in two fields: modern Italian art and Cubism.  Braun has organized several award-winning exhibitions\, among them Gardens and G hettos: The Art of Jewish Life in Italy (The Jewish Museum\, 1989)\; The P ower of Conversation: Jewish Women and their Salons (The Jewish Museum\, 2 005)\; Cubism: the Leonard A Lauder Collection (The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, 2014) and Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting (Solomon R. Guggenh eim Museum\, 2015). Her essays have been included in catalogues published by museums across North America and Europe\, including the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Brooklyn Museum\, the MoMA\, the Morgan Library\, th e Neue Galerie\, the Tate Gallery\, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris\, the National Gallery of Canada\, and the Palazzo Reale Milan. Her research has been supported by Fellowships from the Getty Foundation a nd the New York Public Library Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. In 2020 she held the Edmond J. Safra Professorship at CASVA\, The National G allery of Art Washington. Her lecture this evening relates to the recent e xhibition\, Cubism and the Trompe l’Oeil Tradition\, which she co-curate d with Elizabeth Cowling for The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York.\n\ nJoin us for what will be a spectacular presentation.

Manufac turers were challenged to understand Passover laws and apply them to the m ass production of food yet were equally as challenged in rising to the occ asion to design the packaging materials. Design of packaging material had to satify both religious concerns and cultural appeal. The art of package engineering and design took on new meaning both in Jewish and non-Jewish f ood and provisions companies alike. Rabbi Bolton will explore the history of Passover packaging and Jewish laws that concerned manufacturers\, as we ll as ideas about "religious" package design\, in memory of his father\, S tewart Bolton\, z'l who was a packaging engineer for Warner Lambert Parke- David and a professor of the discipline at Rutgers University School\nof P ackaging Engineering.\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Kiddush,Study END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:941@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230410T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230410T130000 DTSTAMP:20230313T195057Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/zoom-torah-study-55/ SUMMARY:Zoom Torah Study DESCRIPTION:Zoom Torah Study\nLeadership: Searching the Weekly Torah Portio n for Inspiration\nMondays\, 12:00 pm\, beginning Monday\, Oct. 24\, 2022\ n\nClick to join Torah Study\n\nJoin the community to explore the weekly T orah portion and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks essays that pertain to leadership.

Rabbi Bolton will be in conversa tion with Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer (bio below) who founded the first Haredi online blog Tzarikh Iyyun - loosely translated as: "We need to discuss thi s."\n\nThe rabbi met Yehoshua on the UJA Clergy Mission to Israel a few we eks ago. As the demonstrations continued\, the NY leaders met with thought -leaders and lawmakers who could help pave new ways forward. Rabbi Pfeffer believes that Torah law and democracy\, statecraft\, and halakha can info rm each other to help build a better Jewish State for all its inhabitants. The time is now.\n\nThere are differing worldviews to compare and underst and. There are issues to unpack. With a willingness to embrace statehood c ould the Haredi parties help society reconsider how Israeli society and co mmunities live in a way that reflects the best of Jewish and Western ideal s?\n\nRabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer is founding editor of Tzarich Iyun\, a unique journal of Haredi thought and ideas. Alongside the journal\, he operates a range of educational initiatives for young Haredi adults\, and a magazin e (entitled "Hamakom") for Haredim who are integrated into broader Israeli society. Pfeffer was born and educated in London before continuing his To rah education in Israel\, eventually becoming a Dayan (rabbinical judge) a nd community rabbi of the "Ohr Chadash" congregation in Jerusalem. He hold s bachelor’s and master’s degrees in law from Hebrew University\, cler ked at Israel's Supreme Court\, and currently teaches at Hebrew University 's law faculty. Previously\, he established a Haredi yeshiva that also inc ludes general studies and matriculation examinations\, at which he taught for several years\, and was the first head of Hebrew University's pre-acad emic school for Haredim. He lives in Ramot\, Jersualem\, with his wife and seven children (plus one married).\n\nRabbi Bolton said\, "It is my honor to host Rabbi Pfeffer and to deepen our thinking about the complexities o f Israelis' lives and the Jewish People's eternal connection with Zion."

Dawidowicz Lecture with Dr. William Plevan DESCRIPTION:Dr. William Plevan\, on "Finding God in the Everyday: Martin Bu ber on the Life of Dialogue."\n\nClick HERE for video recording of the eve nt.\n\nGerman-Jewish philosopher Martin Buber is perhaps best known for hi s classic I and Thou\, published 100 years ago. Buber has inspired many wi th his call to a life of dialogue\, a true meaningful engagement with othe rs. For Buber\, a life of dialogue is the way for human beings experience God's presence in our everyday encounters. In this lecture (session\, lear ning)\, we will uncover the Hasidic roots of Buber's philosophy of dialogu e and its religious significance. By looking at the Hasidic stories he tra nslated and popularized\, we will explore how his teachings can inspire us to find God's presence in our everyday lives.\n\nDr. Plevan is Visiting A ssistant Professor of Contemporary Jewish Thought at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. He holds rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theologi cal Seminary and a doctorate in Religion from Princeton University. He has recently published several essays on the work of Martin Buber and on cont emporary Jewish theology\, including an essay on theology for the Routledg e volume\, Judaism in the 21st Century.\n\n \;\n\nhttps://www.orzarua. org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Martin-Buber-God-in-the-Everyday.pdf ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/ 12/2024.01.31-Lucy-Lecture-Dr.-William-Plevan.jpg CATEGORIES:Study END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1109@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240201T084000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240201T094500 DTSTAMP:20231120T155147Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/siddur-class-5784-14/ SUMMARY:Siddur Class 5784 DESCRIPTION:Siddur Class 5784 - "Oh\, Lord\, Hear Our Sabbath Prayers"\nAn Exploration of Heschel's "The Sabbath" \nThursdays\, 8:40 am\, beginning October 12\, 2023\n\nWe will venture into our Sabbath prayers and focus on the themes and liturgy of the three main services of Shabbat.

We gather in the library for the Tikkun (study on Shavuot) and then eat ice c ream\, cheescake (non-dairy options\, too) desserts to sweeten the holiday and celebrate together.\n\nThe Panelists\n\nMiranda Platcow\nMiranda grew up in a totally secular family on the Upper West Side\, surrounded by Jew s\, but disconnected from any Jewish community or education. Her mother\, the child of Chinese immigrants\, brought her brother and Miranda to Chine se school every Saturday morning\, but her Jewish father z”l had no inte rest in religious affiliation or education for his children. Miranda was n onetheless always interested in Judaism in an ethno-cultural sense\, and w hen she arrived at West Point as a 17-year-old\, she was shocked by its ov ert\, devout Christianity and fled straight to the Hillel. There she found Jewish community and learning for the first time. Upon graduation\, she h ad the opportunity to go to graduate school\, and chose Tel Aviv Universit y somewhat by chance. Upon arriving\, she immediately fell in love with Is rael\, learned Hebrew\, and developed a strong secular Jewish identity. Th ough she was based in Tel Aviv\, she always felt pulled to the deep spirit uality and profundity of Jerusalem\, and spent her last few months in Isra el living there and attending the Pardes Institute. It only took a month o f full-time learning for her secular Jewish identity to begin transforming into a religious one\, and she started taking on mitzvot and leading an o bservant life. She returned to the US a religious Jew on active duty\, and while stationed in North Carolina\, decided to formally convert under the supervision of a rabbi both to change her halakhic status\, as her mother was not Jewish\, and to mark the culmination of the religious transformat ion she had undergone. When she moved back to New York\, she was ready to fully participate in a religious community\, and her wife Alissa\, then he r girlfriend\, directed her toward Or Zarua\, where she knew Miranda would find a home.\n\nAri Roytenberg\nAri was born in the Brighton Beach area o f Brooklyn\, New York in 1989 a few months after his parents immigrated to the United States from Ukraine. They came as refugees under the Jackson-V anik amendment that allowed Jews to escape the Soviet Union. Like many Sov iet Jews\, the family practiced Judaism very sporadically. They rarely wen t to Synagogue\, Ari never had a Bar Mitzvah\, and they celebrated holiday s with vodka and caviar\, rather than wine and brisket. Nonetheless\, he g rew up with a strong sense of his Jewish identity. Everyone in his family was proud of being Jewish and discussions and debates regarding the signif icance of Jewish history were commonplace. That said\, he lacked almost en tirely a religious education and by the time he was graduating college\, h e was an inveterate atheist. Things began to change\, however\, when he me t his wife\, Madeleine. Though she herself grew up in a religiously splint ered family and also rarely practiced Judaism\, they were both drawn to ph ilosophical and political ideas. Their relationship flourished over discus sions regarding religion and morality. And as they began to make plans for their future together\, they decided they would raise their children with Judaism as the cornerstone of their moral upbringing. In the last few yea rs\, they searched for a Synagogue that they could join and steadfastly be gan educating themselves. A few days after October 7th\, they walked into Or Zarua for a Friday service\, and after meeting Rabbi Bolton that evenin g\, they instantly knew they found a home. They began taking weekly lesson s with Rabbi Bolton and since then\, he has presided over their newborn so n's bris and mikveh. Ari's journey to Judaism feels like it has just begun but he feels like he couldn't have found a better community to guide him and his family through it.\n\nRana Arons Silver\nRana Arons Silver was bor n and raised in Manhattan. Her family observed the Holidays and belonged t o a conservative synagogue but Judaism was\, for the most part\, cultural rather than religious.\nRana is a graduate of Skidmore College and Columbi a University Graduate School of Journalism. Professionally\, she was the W est Coast Editor of US magazine and worked as writer/PR for Consumer Repor ts.\nRana’s Hebrew and Jewish education began at age 50. She attended Dr isha Yeshiva\, studying primarily Tanach with Rabbi David Silber and Rache l Friedman. To her great surprise\, Rana fell in love with the study of Je wish texts. It’s a continuing love affair.

What about this ancient c ollection of poetry compels believers to return to it each year?\n\nThis y ear’s T’shuvah Lecture will focus on the historical and affective dime nsions of the book of Psalms. We will explore where the psalms come from\, what they have meant to Jews in the past\, how they were used\, and why t heir words remain ever relevant and inspiring today.\n\nProf. A.J. Berkovi tz is a scholar of Jewish Antiquity at Hebrew Union College. His research explores Jewish texts\, traditions and history from the formation of the H ebrew Bible until the rise of Islam. He received his Ph.D. in Religions of Mediterranean Antiquity from Princeton University and a B.A. and M.A. in Jewish Studies/Bible from Yeshiva University. His forthcoming book\, A Lif e of Psalms in Jewish Late Antiquity\, explores the history of Psalm recep tion in late ancient Judaism through the lenses of materiality\, exegesis\ , liturgy\, piety\, and magic. He is also the co-editor of Rethinking ‘A uthority’ in Late Antiquity: Authorship\, Law\, and Transmission in Jewi sh and Christian Tradition and the author of over 30 scholarly articles an d popular essays.

But perhaps this is the wrong time of the year to celebrate the holiday. The Torah tells u s that God made the Israelites dwell in “sukkot” in the wilderness fol lowing the miraculous exodus from Egypt. So why\, then\, don’t we celebr ate Sukkot in the spring\, in the immediate aftermath of Passover\, rather than in the fall six months later? Is Sukkot’s annual slot in the Jewis h calendar misplaced?\nPlease join Marc Ashley in our beautiful rooftop su kkah to explore this fundamental issue related to the calendrical timing o f Sukkot\, which will enrich your joyous observance of the holiday by illu minating its essential themes and purposes.

And the thing about shiva is you sho uld not do it alone. A key aspect of shiva is the minyan\, which requires ten individuals over the age of Bar or Bat Mitzvah.\n\nLet’s come togeth er to have a bite to eat and hear from three members of the community: Ph yllis Solomon\, Rabbi Amy Bolton\, and Ilona Charkow\, talk about their ex periences with shiva and what the community has meant to them. We’ll als o have a short review from Rabbi Bolton about some of the shiva basics so that we all feel comfortable paying a shiva call. Since food is an integra l part of shiva\, we are going to be catering this talk from Eyal Shani's new Kosher Miznon restaurant for an extra tasty treat. And since this is about shiva\, no one will be turned away at the door\, but if you know you plan on coming\, please RSVP by emailing Deborah so that we can get an idea of how many people to expect and have enough food.\n\nAt the end of t he program\, we'll be saying prayers for Israel which will provide an oppo rtunity for anyone in mourning or observing a yahrzeit to say Kaddish.

Eve n as it takes lethal action\, Israel has managed to alter the politics of the Middle East\, culminating in the Abraham Accords of 2020. Arab states such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalized relations with Isr ael\, and the holy grail of normalization with Saudi Arabia may yet be ach ieved. Despite the war with Hamas\, these Arab states share Israel’s con cern with Iran\, remaining silent while Israel undermines Iran’s nuclear program.\nBob and Evyatar reveal how Israel has used documents stolen fro m Tehran in a daring\, secret Mossad raid to show the United States and th e International Atomic Energy Agency how Iran has repeatedly violated the 2015 JCPOA nuclear agreement and lied about its active nuclear weapons pro gram. Drawing from interviews with top confidential Israeli and US sources \, including from the Mossad and the CIA\, the authors tell the “thrilli ng” (Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster\, author of Battlegrounds) inside story of t he tumultuous\, and often bloody\, history of how Israel has managed to ou tmaneuver Iran—so far.

For many it becomes the primary meal for more than one day.\n Contact Jeff Haberman If you’d like to volunteer: jeff32449@verizon.net ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/ 11/2024-Gleaning.jpg CATEGORIES:Hesed END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1263@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241202T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241202T130000 DTSTAMP:20241031T142123Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/zoom-torah-study-with-rabbi-bolton-28/ SUMMARY:Zoom Torah Study with Rabbi Bolton DESCRIPTION:Zoom Torah Study\nRabbi Jonathan Sacks Sources: Ethics\nMondays \, 12:00 pm\, beginning Monday\, Oct. 28\, 2024\n\nClick to join Torah Stu dy\n\nCommunity Torah Study on Mondays NOON on ZOOM honoring the work of R abbi Jonathan Sacks.

Sp ared by the Holocaust and the Cold War\, its residents enjoyed remarkable peace. It missed out oncars\, electricity\, the internet\, and indoor plum bing. But when a marriage dispute spins out of control\, the whole town co mes crashing into the 21st century.\n\nPesha Lindauer\, who has just suffe red an ugly\, acrimonious divorce\, suddenly disappears. A day later\, her husband goes after her\, setting off a panic among the town elders. They send a woefully unprepared outcast named Yankel Lewinkopf out into the wid er world to alert the Polish authorities.\n\nVenturing beyond the remote s afety of Kreskol\, Yankel is confronted by the beauty and the ravages of t he modern-day outside world – and his reception is met with a confusing mix of disbelief\, condescension\, and unexpected kindness. When the truth eventually surfaces\, his story and the existence of Kreskol make headlin es nationwide.\n\nReturning Yankel to Kreskol\, the Polish government plan s to reintegrate the town that time forgot. Yet in doing so\, the devious origins of its disappearance come to the light. And what has become of the mystery of Pesha and her former husband? Divided between those embracing change and those clinging to its old-world ways\, the people of Kreskol wi ll have to find a way to come together . . .  or risk their village disap pearing for good.\n\n\nThe discussion will be enhanced by sweet kugel\, po tato kugel and frozen schnapps from the old country!\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/ 12/2025.01.19-OZ-Book-Discussion-Event-Graphic.jpg CATEGORIES:Book Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1280@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250122T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250122T203000 DTSTAMP:20241213T173103Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/talmud-class-6/ SUMMARY:Talmud Class DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nTalmudic Route 66: The Top Sixty-Six Sugiyot (Passa ges) Every Educated Jew Must Know\nIn person and Zoom\nhttps://tinyurl.com /OZWedTalmudClass\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/ 09/Talmud-Class.jpg CATEGORIES:Study,Virtual Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1317@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250123T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250123T095500 DTSTAMP:20241213T172448Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/siddur-and-prayer-class-9/ SUMMARY:Siddur and Prayer Class DESCRIPTION:"Shabbat Liturgy &\; the Philosophers of Prayer Life"\nIn pe rson only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/ 09/Siddur-Class.jpg CATEGORIES:Study END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1384@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250125T114500 DTSTAMP:20250122T183931Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/torah-tots-23/ SUMMARY:Torah Tots DESCRIPTION:Our youngest youth meet on select Shabbat mornings.\n\nParents and children celebrate Shabbat together with interactive songs\, stories a nd more!\nFor infants - Pre-K.\n\nTorah Tots is in partnership with PJ Lib rary.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/ 09/Torah-Tots.jpg CATEGORIES:Youth and Families END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1388@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250125T114500 DTSTAMP:20250122T184306Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/torah-kids-11/ SUMMARY:Torah Kids DESCRIPTION:Learn and pray together at Torah Kids!

Dawidowicz Lecture DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism and the Jewish Presence in France: Past\, Present &\; Future\n\nWith Dr. Maurice Samuels\, Yale University\n\nCan't come in person? Join on Zoom by clicking HERE.\n\nAntisemitism in France is a c omplex tapestry woven with threads of prejudice\, political intrigue\, and cultural narratives. Jewish history in France is marked by a range of exp eriences for the community—from periods of coexistence and prosperity\nt o eras of persecution and violence.\n\nDr. Maurice Samuels has explored th e historical record from times when Jews faced\nsystemic discrimination\, forced conversions\, and violent pogroms to being welcomed during the peri od of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. The 19th and 20th centu ries brought a new wave of antisemitism\, characterized by the Dreyfus Aff air which Samuels charts in his book about Dreyfus. The episode not only e xposed deep-seated prejudices but also mobilized public opinion and saw th e emergence of modern antisemitism in a secular context. Dr. Samuels will help expand our thought about Jews' places in both France and the modern w orld as he looks at the particulars in the case of the French Jewish commu nity. Grappling with the resurgence of antisemitism in the late 20th and e arly 21st centuries this lecture will explore the historical backdrop and allow us to address questions such as why does antisemitism persist? And w hat lessons can we draw from the past to combat discrimination in our time ?\n\nDr. Maurice Samuels is the Betty Jane Anlyan Professor of French and Chair of the French Department at Yale University\, where he also directs the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism. A recipient of the Guggenh eim Fellowship and the Cullman Center Fellowship at the New York Public Li brary\, he is the author of five books\, including most recently "Alfred D reyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair\," published in 2024 by Yale U niversity Press in the Jewish Lives Series.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 01/2025.01.29-Lucy-Lecture-1-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Study,Virtual Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1319@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250130T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250130T095500 DTSTAMP:20241213T172558Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/siddur-and-prayer-class-10/ SUMMARY:Siddur and Prayer Class DESCRIPTION:"Shabbat Liturgy &\; the Philosophers of Prayer Life"\nIn pe rson only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/ 09/Siddur-Class.jpg CATEGORIES:Study END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1363@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250201T181500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250201T201500 DTSTAMP:20250123T180927Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/or-latid-family-havdalah/ SUMMARY:Or L'Atid Family Havdalah & Hot Cocoa DESCRIPTION:Kids of all ages and parents are invited to join us as we end S habbat together!\n\nJoin us as we end Shabbat with havdalah\, the multi-se nsory\, musical ceremony that formally concludes Shabbat.

There almost surely has been no mo re well-rounded and accomplished Jew than Maimonides\, who in his highly p roductive lifetime reached the greatest heights in diverse roles as author itative Talmudic scholar\, expert philosopher\, widely consulted physician \, preeminent astronomer\, and influential communal leader. The impact of Maimonides’ systemic rationalist thought on the Jewish world in the last 800+ years has been prodigious and permanent.\n\nYet despite his massive achievements and status\, Maimonides was beset by controversy during his l ifetime and engendered fierce opposition in ensuing centuries. Competing e xcommunication bans\, and even the distressing burning of his books by Chr istian authorities in France in the 1230s\, followed in the wake of Maimon ides’ ever-spreading influence.\n\nBut why was Maimonides so controversi al? Was he indeed one of the most impressive and impactful Jews in history – or\, rather\, an insidious heretic?\n\nPlease join Marc\, now in his 26th year of teaching classes at Or Zarua\, as we explore pivotal issues i n Jewish intellectual history. Maimonides’ compelling ideas\, and the re curring strident controversies that attended them\, encompass foundational topics such as what a Jew must believe\; the interplay of reason and reve lation\; the true nature of God and monotheism\; divine providence and God ’s role in history\; efficacy of prayer\; physical resurrection of the d ead\; messianic era\; reality of miracles and angels\; scriptural allegory \; and the proper curriculum of Torah studies.\n\nMaimonides’ halakhic\, philosophical and theological writings proved to be both highly inspirati onal and provocative across the wide spectrum of Jewish thought. Indeed\, through contemporary times\, Maimonides’ authority has been so pervasive that successive Jewish thinkers have sought to refashion his teachings in their own image. As a modern scholar quipped\, among all those who have e ndorsed\, opposed or recast Rambam’s thought\, there exist “my-monides \, your-monides\, and their-monides.”\n\nWhat is beyond controversy is t hat Maimonides’ wide-ranging thought and towering presence should be con sidered and appreciated. Please join us for an intriguing encounter with a rguably the greatest figure in Jewish history.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 03/2025-Spring-Class-with-Marc-Ashley.jpg CATEGORIES:Study,Virtual Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1417@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250519T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250519T130000 DTSTAMP:20250311T141456Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/zoom-torah-study-with-rabbi-bolton-46/ SUMMARY:Zoom Torah Study with Rabbi Bolton DESCRIPTION:Zoom Torah Study\nRabbi Jonathan Sacks Sources: Ethics\nMondays \, 12:00 pm\, beginning Monday\, Oct. 28\, 2024\n\nClick to join Torah Stu dy\n\nCommunity Torah Study on Mondays NOON on ZOOM honoring the work of R abbi Jonathan Sacks.

This year's congregant panel fe atures three dynamic speakers. Dena Adler\, Shelly Adler and Owen Pell are experts who can help explicate\, explain and apply this central Jewish te aching. Each is a lawyer and deep thinker about Judaism and justice issues within our society\, for humanity and our planet. See below for their top ics and bios.\n\nAfter the Tikkun we'll have ice cream and cheesecake to s weeten the holiday and celebrate together (non-dairy options will be avail able).\n\nDena Adler\n\nDena will provide some examples from the Torah and Talmud illuminating an ethic of care for both our planet and the most vul nerable. She will describe how the Talmud allocates liability for environm ental damage and compare and contrast that with the treatment of environme ntal regulation in American law. She will discuss the intersection of thes e duties with guiding principles of environmental justice that aim to ensu re no community is disproportionately burdened by environmental harms.\n\n Dena is a Senior Attorney at Policy Integrity. She works on issues of fede ral environmental regulation with a focus on air quality\, power plants\, and climate resilience. Dena also is currently serving as an Adjunct Profe ssor of Law at NYU Law School and teaching a seminar on Climate Law Change and Policy. Prior to joining Policy Integrity\, she was an attorney with the clean air team at the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in Washington\, D.C. Previously\, she served as a climate law fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School. Dena earned her J.D. from Y ale Law School and a Masters of Environmental Management from Yale School of the Environment.\n\nSheldon Adler\n\nBy focusing on Deuteronomy 16 :18- 20 and specifically on the famous phrase צדק צדק תרדוף (Justice \, Justice\, you shall pursue)\, Shelly will explore the concept of Justic e expressed in the Torah and the Talmud. He will examine the analysis of s ome of the major commentaries including Rashi\, Ramban\, Ibn Ezra and Rabb einu Bahya as well as the treatment of these psukim in the Talmud. He will then compare the treatment of Justice in the Torah and Talmud with the st udy of Justice in the works of the leading American legal philosophers Joh n Rawls and Lon Fuller.\n\nShelly is a retired partner of Skadden\, Arps\, Slate\, Meagher &\; Flom LLP. During his time at Skadden\, he was prim arily responsible for the development of Skadden’s utility mergers and a cquisitions practice. From 2013 to 2017\, Sheldon was a Visiting Lecturer at Yale Law School and taught a seminar on Drafting and Negotiating Merger s and Acquisitions transactions. Sheldon has repeatedly been selected for inclusion in Chambers Global: The World’s Leading Lawyers for Business\, Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business and The Best Lawye rs in America. Sheldon earned his JD from Yale Law School in 1979 and was an Editor of the Yale Law Journal.\n\nOwen Pell\n\nOwen will speak briefly on the work of the Rev. Leon Sullivan in the 1970s-1980s relating to Apar theid South Africa. In the only known example of mass corporate civil diso bedience\, Rev. Sullivan convinced 150 U.S. public companies to join the S ullivan Principles\, which required the companies to violate the laws and customs of Apartheid on their properties in South Africa and invest in edu cation\, health care\, and job training in the segregated Black communitie s where their workers lived. Sullivan’s approach was built on the Old Te stament\, and did not require the companies to succeed in ending Apartheid \, but did require them to make steady and meaningful progress in how they opposed it.\n\nOwen Pell is a retired partner from White and Case in New York City\, a large international law firm\, where he handled complex comm ercial litigation\, litigation involving foreign sovereigns\, and litigati on involving issues of international law\, including as to the Holocaust. He also formulated a proposal for a title-clearing and dispute resolution center in the EU to address claims for art works looted from Jews during t he Holocaust\, a proposal that was endorsed by the European Parliament in 2003. In addition to publishing on Holocaust-looted art issues\, he has au thored a paper analyzing the history of the French National Railway during the Holocaust\, contributed book chapters on Business and Human Rights\, and given a TEDx talk titled "Diplomacy 2.0" on how companies and non-gove rnmental organizations can affect human rights issues faster than countrie s. Owen is President of the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Geno cide and Mass Atrocities\, the largest NGO in the world that trains govern ment officials in long-term strategies for preventing identity-based viole nce. He also sits on the board of the International Peace Institute\, the largest think tank dedicated to making the UN system work better\, and Pro ject Shift\, the largest NGO in the world that trains companies in how to conduct meaningful human rights due diligence relating to their operations .

Rubenstein DESCRIPTION:"Ancient Stories\, Timeless Lessons: Talmudic Tales of Repentan ce"\n\nWith Dr. Jeffrey L. Rubenstein\n\nTo view the video recording of th e lecture click HERE\n\nThe Talmud is rich with stories of rabbis and othe r figures who faltered\, sinned\, and sought repentance. Though these narr atives emerge from distant times and unfamiliar cultural settings\, they c ontinue to speak to the human experience. What do these tales teach us abo ut the nature of T'shuvah—repentance and return? Can we uncover enduring wisdom about moral growth\, accountability\, and the pursuit of atonement ?\n\nJoin us as we explore these ancient texts to discover how their insig hts still resonate with our personal and communal journeys today.\n\nDr. J effrey L. Rubenstein is the Skirball Professor of Talmud and Rabbinic Lite rature at New York University. He received his B.A. in Religion from Oberl in College\, his M.A. in Talmud from the Jewish Theological Seminary\, whe re he also received rabbinic ordination\, and his Ph.D. from the Departmen t of Religion of Columbia University.\nHe has taught at Columbia Universit y\, the University of Pennsylvania and the Jewish Theological Seminary in addition to New York University. His books include\, The History of Sukkot in the Second Temple and Rabbinic Periods (1995)\; Talmudic Stories: Narr ative Art\, Composition and Culture (1999)\, Rabbinic Stories (Classics of Western Spirituality Series\, 2002)\, The Culture of the Babylonian Talmu d (2003)\, Stories of the Babylonian Talmud (Johns Hopkins University Pres s\, 2010)\, and The Land of Truth: Talmud Tales\, Timeless Teachings (Jewi sh Publication Society\, 2018). Dr. Rubenstein has written numerous articl es on the festival of Sukkot\, Talmudic stories\, the development of Jewis h law\, and topics in Jewish liturgy and ethics.

Foreign enemies sensing its weakness are circling. Internally\ , the West is being consumed by division\, decadence\, and demoralization. The October 7 attack on Israel presented it with a choice between civiliz ation and barbarism—a challenge the West has failed. But this damaged so ciety is far from lost if it takes advice from an unexpected source. Weste rn culture is based upon Christianity\, whose own foundations in turn lie in Judaism. The unique survival of the Jewish people offers both the West and its struggling Christian church\, as well as secular people who shun r eligion\, priceless lessons in resilience that they must learn if their cu lture is to survive.\n\nNext selection for Jan. 25\, 2026\, 10:00 am: Song s for the Broken Hearted\, by Ayelet Tsabari.

DESCRIPTION:Part 2 of the 2025 Or Zarua Gleaning Project is almost upon us. On Erev Christmas Eli Zabar is again extending his generosity to donate f ood from some of his retail outlets and we will again be gleaning. The Ere v Christmas Gleaning Project will take place on Wednesday evening\, Decemb er 24.\n\nAs we did on Erev Thanksgiving\, the Gleaning will take place at Eli’s Market on Third Avenue/80th Street and Eli’s Essentials outlets at 87th Street/Lexington Avenue\, 91st Street/Madison Avenue and 73rd Str eet/Madison Avenue. We were able to perform the Erev Thanksgiving Gleaning \, where we did the packing of the donations\, at all locations but 73rd S treet/Madison Avenue\, and I am hoping that this will happen for Part 2. A dditional notices will be sent as more precise information is received inc luding the actual starting time(s).I want\, again\, to remind everyone tha t the Gleaning Project has always been a thoughtful experience for the chi ldren of the OZ community\, many of whom participated on Erev Thanksgiving and did a wonderful job. For some\, it is an early lesson towards underst anding that there are many members of this and other communities within Ne w York City who are not as fortunate as are most of us and\, but for what we gather and deliver\, they would be without Holiday meals. For many it b ecomes the primary meal for more than one day. This year\, given the uncer tainties with Federal funding of so many food-security organizations\, thi s need is even more pronounced.\n\nPlease let me know as soon as you can i f you are interested in participating in the Erev Christmas Gleaning night by email at jeff32449@verizon.net or by telephone at 917-697-1677.\n\nTha nks for your consideration of this Project\,\nJeff Haberman\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.orzarua.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/ 10/2023.11.22-Gleaning.jpg CATEGORIES:Hesed END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1558@orzarua.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260105T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260105T103000 DTSTAMP:20251201T205224Z URL:https://www.orzarua.org/events/shalom-toddler-6/ SUMMARY:Shalom Toddler DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nMondays and Wednesdays\, 9:30 am – 10:30 am\n\n\n\n\nFo r toddlers – geared towards 18 months – 3 years old.\nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.\nSign up below \n\n\nOr Zarua’s Shalom Toddle r program follows a play-based model that allows children to gradually exp erience their first taste of education\, in a warm\, nurturing Jewish envi ronment.\n \;\nLetters will be introduced in a fun\, playful way.\n\n\ nSign up on HiSawyer.

At a time when Jews were largely excluded from univers ities\, he was a mostly self-taught prodigy who became one of the most pro minent philosophers of the German Enlightenment. For many\, he was the onl y visible Jew in “enlightened” intellectual circles. Because of this u nique position\, he was often held up as an example by defenders of religi ous toleration—living proof that Jews\, too\, were capable of wisdom and virtue. But he also posed a problem for many Germans: they assumed that t he “enlightenment” of Jews would inevitably lead to their conversion t o Christianity\, yet the unquestionably “enlightened” Mendelssohn didn ’t convert.\n\nIn 1769\, a pastor publicly challenged Mendelssohn to eit her refute Christianity philosophically or convert to it. This learning wi ll focus on Mendelssohn's response\, a refusal to engage in the proposed d isputation. Through a close reading of Mendelssohn’s brilliant letter\, we will learn about the position of Jews and Judaism in the German Enlight enment\; the connections between philosophy\, religion\, and politics in t his period\; and how to read authors who wrote in contexts of persecution and censorship.

Don't Delegate Your Soul: Preserving Human Autonomy in the AI Era with Rabbi Daniel Nevins DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to view video.\n\nRabbi Daniel Nevins is one of the most compelling thinkers and teachers of our time regarding the intersecti on of technology and Judaism. Rabbi Nevins\, who recently published "Torah and Technology: Circuits\, Cells\, and the Sacred Path\," is dedicated to exploring the sacred realm of Torah and its intersection with contemporar y ethics\, culture\, and technology. Ordained by the Jewish Theological Se minary\, he also holds a MA in Jewish studies from JTS\, and earned his ba chelors in history from Harvard College. Jewish education is the centerpie ce of his rabbinate\, with a focus on training the head\, heart and hands to engage with Jewish wisdom\, create compassionate communities\, and purs ue justice.\n\nThere is no denying the wonder and excitement surrounding a rtificial intelligence. The sophistication of its research and outputs\, i ts ability to compose text\, video\, art\, code\, music and seemingly ever y mode of expression other than touch (for now!) is remarkable. Agentic AI promises the ability to interact with the world\, making purchases and re servations\, for example. More menacingly\, AI-powered autonomous weapons systems have the ability to attack human targets with lethal force. All of this appeals to users who wish to extend their power\, yet it poses many dangers. The delegation of authority to machines to decide and to act on o ur behalf can degrade the abilities of humans\, and lead to catastrophic c onsequences for humanity. Judaism is generally a pro-tech religion\, but i t offers essential restraints such as the laws of liability for damage don e by one’s domesticated animals\, and the general mandate to desist from requesting labor on Shabbat. In this session we will consider different m odels of Jewish guidance for the disorientating era of AI\, and discuss pa thways to limit the dangers that are only now coming into focus.\n\nRabbi Nevins has led three Jewish organizations: Golda Och Academy as Head of Sc hool\; the Jewish Theological Seminary's Division of Religious Leadership as the Pearl Resnick Dean of the Rabbinical School\; and Adat Shalom Synag ogue in Farmington Hills\, MI\, serving first as Associate and then Senor Rabbi.\n\nHe has been a member of The Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on J ewish Law and Standards since 1999 and has also served on its Executive Co uncil and Joint Placement Commission. He writes responsa on topics of cont emporary halakhah\, essay\, prayers\, and Torah commentaries\, many of whi ch can be viewed online. Rabbi Nevins has been elected as Senior Rabbi of the New North London Synagogue\, a flagship congregation of the Masorti Mo vement in the United Kingdom\, starting in July\, 2026.\n\nThe lecture ser ies is in memory of Lucy S. Dawidowicz\, z”l\, noted author and early me mber of Or Zarua.\n\nThis event was by Zoom because of a blizzard.

DESCRIPTION:Pre-Purim lecture by Marc Ashley\n\nAVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE - Mar c Ashley Pre-Purim Lecture: "Megillat Esther as Political Drama: Is the Di aspora Good or Bad for the Jews?" Feb. 26\, 2026. Click HERE to view video . Click HERE for source sheet.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nFebruary 25 at 7: 00 pm (Zoom only). Click HERE to join.\n\nThe frivolity of Purim masks its menacing context. Megillat Esther\, which we may read lightheartedly\, de scribes an embattled Jewish community at risk of extermination. Yet the Me gillah also insightfully and provocatively encapsulates a fierce ancient d ebate – with obvious contemporary resonance – about the status\, ident ity and future of Jews in the Diaspora\, far from their ancestral homeland . It is a thoroughly Diaspora-centric story\, set within the milieu of the mighty Persian empire\, with little regard for conventional Jewish themes \, practices and beliefs –including\, stunningly\, not a single referenc e to God. It centrally frames a pivotal question with increasing relevance and urgency for disquieted Jews in today’s unsettling world: Are we bet ter off living in the Diaspora or Israel? Depending on one’s perspective \, Megillat Esther’s answer may be comforting\, confounding or chilling. The issues it raises are certainly timely and consequential.\n\nPlease jo in congregant Marc Ashley for an intriguing discussion of an often misunde rstood and underappreciated classic Jewish text.
