Wednesday Morning Study Group, with Cantor Ben-David
Wednesday, Dec 8th 10:00a to 11:30a
This ever-evolving class is great for both newcomers to Jewish liturgy and longtime students. As we walk through the prayer book, we'll look at the various prayers and services in the siddur that appear each week and throughout the seasons! This class provides a more manageable view of our Mishkan T’filah and a deeper understanding of Reform Judaism's contemporary prayer book.

Guest Scholar – Graceful Masculinity, with Rabbi Mike Moskowitz
Sunday, Dec 12th 11:00a to 12:00p
The phrase "toxic masculinity” is in the news and culture a great deal, but what does healthy masculinity look and sound like? What can we learn from the wisdom of the Jewish tradition to be better versions of ourselves in relationships? Rabbi Moskowitz will explore positive manifestations of gendered attributes as reflections of Divine grace, as discussed in his new book, “Graceful Masculinity.” Rabbi Mike Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, the world’s largest LGBT synagogue. Rabbi Moskowitz received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir in Jerusalem and in Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, NJ. He is a David Hartman Center Fellow and the author of Textual Activism.
