December 6 & 7, 2019
~ A Deeper Look at Rabbi Elie Kaunfer’s Topics ~
Friday, December 6:
How Can I Pray What I Don’t Believe? A Case Study
We will analyze the first blessing of the amidah as a way of approaching the question: are traditional prayer formulas able to express my own values/ideas of prayer? What do you do when you "disagree" with the prayer's content? We will analyze the original Biblical context to help us connect to the prayer.
Saturday, December 7 Sermon:
Can Doubters Pray?
Does traditional Jewish prayer make room for people who have doubts about God and/or doubts about the efficacy of prayer? How might an approach to rethinking the meaning of the prayers open up new possibilities for the skeptics among us?
Saturday, December 7 Lunch and Learn:
The Mourner’s Kaddish – A New Interpretation
Join us as we explore the essence of the kaddish, perhaps the most misunderstood prayer in Judaism. We will move on an interpretive journey that has implications for all prayers we say. Along the way we will encounter the power of the Kaddish, a poignant depiction of God’s relationship with us, and what people can offer the Divine.
Saturday, December 7 Mincha/Ma’ariv:
Beyond Values and Identity: What Being a Jew Can Mean Today
Jews often fret about survival and continuity, especially in this time. But what are we surviving for? What is the essence and nature of being Jewish, and how is it relevant to our real lives? Together we will open up new frames on what it means, or could mean, to be Jewish.
