Wed 5 Jan. To Everything There is a Season: The 12 Chapters of Kohelet With Morah Yehudis Fishman There is only one book in the Bible that is simultaneously heretical and pious, pessimistic and joyous, paradoxical and direct, profound and obvious, philosophical and down to earth - and looking backwards and forward in life.

We will take an in-depth look at the twelve chapters of this unique book with some of the most famous one-liners in the world, from literal, allegorical, ethical, and mystical perspectives.

Sun 9 Jan, 3:30-5:30 pm. (rescheduled from February 6) No charge. All are welcome. Secular JEWS AND Spirituality: A Contradiction In Terms? Is it really true that people who pray live longer? If so, what are the implications for us if we don’t believe in prayer? Is there a secular alternative? What is prayer anyway? If we don’t believe in a supernatural deity who intervenes in our lives, is there still room for believing in a “higher power”? Experiencing transcendental moments? Having parking karma? Where does spirituality fit into our lives – or not? Take a Spirituality Quiz and find out. Rabbi Peter Schweitzer will lead a discussion on these questions. Learn more about The City Congregation.

Wed 12 Jan. To Everything There is a Season: The 12 Chapters of Kohelet With Morah Yehudis Fishman There is only one book in the Bible that is simultaneously heretical and pious, pessimistic and joyous, paradoxical and direct, profound and obvious, philosophical and down to earth - and looking backwards and forward in life. It is the book of Kohelet, referred to by the Jewish sounding title of Ecclesiastes. We will take an in-depth look at the twelve chapters of this unique book with some of the most famous one-liners in the world, from literal, allegorical, ethical, and mystical perspectives. There will be a special focus on the teachings that Kohelet offers in dealing with the human inevitability of aging.

Sat 15 Jan, 9-11:45 pm. Contrary to popular belief, Golem is neither a towering Jewish Frankenstein who defended the Jews of 17th Century Prague, nor a creature from Lord of the Rings. Golem is a 6 piece Eastern European band that transforms the music of its Jewish grandparents, making it modern, edgy, sexy and brash. Their explosive onstage attitude gets Klezmer to rock. GOLEM's powerfully vibrant sound updates old Yiddish tunes on a musical romp through shtetl life through the filter of a much younger generation's eyes. Location: Martyrs Live 3855 N.
