Save The Dates - Scholar-in-Residence Weekend - July 10-12

We are delighted to present The Bernie Linder Lecture Series Scholar-in-Residence Weekend July 10-12 at Agudas Israel. Our Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Alan Freedman, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Beth Shalom in Austin, Texas, will lead us in engaging discussions centered on how Jewish text and traditions have guided decision-making across generations and how Jewish ethics resonate today.

Here’s a preview of the weekend:

Saturday, July 11, 10:30am — Shabbat morning Torah study examining ethical questions found in the weekly portion Mattot-Masei. Following Torah study, we will share lunch and discuss the moral implications of war through a Jewish lens.
