mAAc Meets: Tuesdays@AA
2022-03-15 10:00, 2022-03-22 10:00, 2022-03-29 10:00 (America/New_York) | GA
Join mAAc members, fellow congregants, and one of the AA rabbis every Tuesday for this exciting discussion group. Rabbis Laurence Rosenthal and Sam Blustin will alternate weeks leading a one-hour online learning course by the Shalom Hartman Institute. The course, iEngage: Jewish Values and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, studies the Jewish narratives about Israel and the unpacking of the complex meanings of peace in Jewish tradition. We will explore the ideas and values that animate different attitudes toward the conflict and how these values shape their own political understandings. Though a common political platform may not be attainable, this course strives to achieve a shared respect for our differences.

Hebrew Reading Improvement Class
2022-03-15 19:30, 2022-03-22 19:30 | GA
Join us every Tuesday for Hebrew Reading Improvement Class, led by Hebrew instructor, Jim Dricker. This class functions as a "drop-in" for anyone who wishes to practice reading Hebrew to improve their fluency skills. Each session will stand alone, so weekly attendance is not required. Using passages from the Hebrew prayer book and bible, participants will receive guidance on practice-reading, looking for syllables, and dealing with complex words. Though there may be some discussion about word origins, this class will not deal with the complexity of verbs, grammar, or translation. No textbook is required; the instructor will provide all material by way of screen-sharing during the Zoom session.
