SUMMARY:The Forgiveness Experiment: Preparing for the High Holy Days
DESCRIPTION:As we enter Elul\, the Jewish month of reflection\, introspection\, and preparation for the High Holidays\, join Beth Emet member and professor Jonathan Singer\, Director of Lifelong Learning Lauren Reeves\, and special guest Rabbi Yisroel Bernath\, author of The Forgiveness Experiment\, for an evening of conversation and practice. \nWe will begin with a discussion of key themes and questions from the book\, exploring the challenges and possibilities of forgiveness through Jewish wisdom and personal reflection. Then Rabbi Bernath will join us to lead an interactive forgiveness exercise drawn from his work. Participants will also be able to talk with the author to ask their toughest questions about forgiveness\, repair\, and the work of the High Holiday season. \nReading the book (the paper version or the audiobook) is encouraged but not required. We will also have a podcast interview with Jonathan Singer and Rabbi Yisroel Bernath to listen to. Whether you have read every page or are simply curious about the topic\, all are welcome as we begin the personal work that leads toward Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. \nMember Registration \nGuest Registration

SUMMARY:Where is Israel Headed?
DESCRIPTION:Israel’s national election may be the most important election in its history. Where is Israel headed? What are Israelis’ key current concerns and hopes for the future?

Zach Selch and Joel Hodes will provide their analysis as they are interviewed by Mark Schoenfield. \nZach Selch is the Chair of the Israel Committee. Zach Selch grew up in Beer Sheva and served as a paratrooper during the First Intifada and the First Lebanon War. He later worked with the Prime Minister’s Office as an economic advisor to the Palestinian Authority during the Oslo Accords. Zach then spent over ten years working in Israeli high tech. \nJoel Hodes made Aliyah to Israel 10 years ago. He and his wife split their time between Tel Aviv and Chicago\, spending a half year in each location. Joel is an active protester\, often attending the weekly rallies held in Hostage Square and Kaplan St. in Tel Aviv. Since the war\, Joel volunteers regularly to harvest agriculture on the abandoned kibbutzim near the Gaza border. \nMembers need to register using the Calendar and Member Portal\, including their guests. \nNon-members cannot register themselves and must be registered by a member. \nMember registration \n\n\n\n
