Torah Study with Rabbi David

Co-facilitated by Rabbi Polisson (Congregation Or Atid) and Rabbi Raysh Weiss (Temple Israel of Natick) 4 Thursdays starting April 27 at 7:30 on Zoom Dirshuni, edited by Tamar Biala, is a groundbreaking collection of original midrashim written by contemporary Israeli women. Based on classic biblical and rabbinic narratives, it creates a place for con­tem­po­rary women to see them­selves in the sacred texts. Women writers, from all denominations, political stripes and ethnic backgrounds offer new takes on traditional stories. Their commentaries provide us a glimpse into what the beit midrash (study hall) of old could have sounded like had it included women's voices. This year the entire collection has been translated into English and published. We are excited to explore a sampling of these texts together. No knowledge of Hebrew necessary--all welcome!

Please note new time change! Join Rabbi Polisson and Israeli musicians, Clarinetist Itay Dayan and Percussionist Nadav Friedman for an Israel themed Musical Kabbalat Shabbat Celebrating Yom Ha-Atzma’ut (Israel Independence Day) and Earth Day.

Join us as we explore Jewish teachings about nurturing our planet as shomrei adamah, “guardians of the Earth.” Enjoy a Kiddush lunch reflecting seasonal, locally grown food, and learn how you can make your own events greener.
