Events Calendar

Dr. Jonathan Judaken, Spence L. Wilson Chair in the Humanities at Rhodes College, a renowned scholar of racism, will offer a series of discussions on how as Jews we can respond to the challenges of racial injustice in the age of Black Lives Matter. He will ask us to consider how anti-Black racism intersects and differs from anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and Judeophobia, teach us about the history of Jews and whiteness in America, and consider some concrete steps we can take individually and collectively to dismantle racism.

What do we mean when we say “Baruch atah…”? Why do we stand for Bar’chu? What’s a minyan? Are we allowed to go “off book” on Friday night?

In Siddur 101, we will explore the major building blocks of our liturgy. You’ll learn how to navigate the Siddur, and how individual prayers come together to form the major sections of every service throughout the year. No prior knowledge is required!
