Torah Study for Saturday, May 21, 2021
2021-05-21 10:00 - 11:00 | United Hebrew Congregation Virtual Sanctuary, IN
Student Rabbi Caitlin Brazner will conduct a virtual Torah study at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 21, 2021, for United Hebrew Congregation.
This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Nasso.
Caitlin writes: “Numbers 4:21-7:89 focuses heavily on the ritual purity of the Israelite community.
“From discussions of priestly duties and blessings to adultery and the Nazirite vow, Naso is a compelling (and sometimes challenging!) portion that invites us to consider, ‘How do we create or maintain “purity” today?’
“In our study we will focus on Chazal, rabbinic literature (particularly Talmud Sotah and Taanit), as well as more modern commentaries, as we seek to better understand the practices and mitzvot of Parashat Naso.”

Shavuot study session for Sunday, May 16, 2021
2021-05-16 19:00 - 20:30 | United Hebrew Congregation Virtual Sanctuary, IN
Herschel Chait and Susan Kray will lead a virtual Shavout study session via Zoom conference from 7-8:30 p.m. Sunday, May 16, 2021.
The session will cover two vital questions:

Why are they trudging long, lonely dirt roads — just two lone women, Naomi and her foreign daughter-in-law, with no weapons, no bodyguards and no Krav Maga?

Seven prophets (Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Abigail, Huldah Esther) confront or command men: a warlord, a general, a priest, kings and heroes. So, how does a mild-mannered little foreigner, that go-along to get-along, rootless, roofless Ruth, rate a whole book all her own?

The event will also include a reading of the Book of Ruth.

Student Rabbi Caitlin Brazner will conduct a virtual Torah study at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 24, 2021, for United Hebrew Congregation.

“This week, we return to Parashat Hashavua, with an examination of this week’s double parashat, Acharei Mot/Kedoshim.
“Covering Leviticus 16:1-20:27, Acharei Mot/Kedoshim includes sections of the ‘Holiness Codes,’ a part of our Torah concerned with how we as Jews maintain our pure, particular and ‘holy’ status.
“We will examine these commands, challenging in directness and intensity, and discuss their relevance (or lack thereof) for us today as 21st century Reform Jews. The role of halakha and its relevance for us today as Reform Jews will also be examined.”
