Upcoming Education Events

  • Exploring the Bible with Dr. Sanford Goldfless

    Will meet at participants’ homes
    Monday, May 20, 2013 - 3:30pm

    In this class we get familiar with the Jewish Bible (the “Tanakh” or “Torah, Prophets, and Writings”) by reading in English and discussing large parts of it together.  We often look at the biblical text from a historical perspective; we always pay attention to the literary features of the text that are essential for conveying its meaning.  We also enjoy conversation about the course of Jewish history and culture through the ages.

    The class is open to all Dorshei Tzedek members and their friends.  Join us as we start the class anew in the new year!

    Cost: $15 per session (fee can be reduced to whatever you feel comfortable with)

  • God in Metaphor: Part Two

    60 Highland St: Library
    Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 7:30pm to 9:00pm

    Back by popular demand! Building on the “God in Metaphor” class that finished in March, we continue our exploration of new ways of thinking about the divine. Whether “Water” or “Place,” “Voice,” or “Fire,” Jewish tradition is rich in nonhuman metaphors for God. Come find out how they might enliven your spiritual practice and sense of connection to something beyond ourselves.
