Ways and Means

 Temple B'nai Israel is reactivating our Ways and Means Committee.  If you are interested in "brainstorming" ways to raise money for Temple projects, improvements, and expenses, please contact Phil and Judy Jacobson. They would like to have their first meeting in July.

Classes:

"Taste of Judaism": 

This is a "sampler" course in Judaism. We will examine major themes in Bible, Talmud, Philosophy, and Theology in a "down-to-earth" fashion. No experience necessary.   

You  will  be  introduced  to  the  sweep  of  Jewish  thought  as  it  developed  from Biblical  times  to  the present. In addition to a core of topics which I like to teach, you will be able to request topics which interest you. Hope to see you.
