Our diverse and welcoming community nurtures personal connections through active participation in a vibrant temple life.
How I Think About God- My Search for a Personal Jewish Theology - Feb. 7 to be Rescheduled
This two session mini course by Rabbi Zemel on Feb. 7 and Feb. 21, will focus on the teachings that have most influenced his way of understanding Judaism and his personal theology. The readings will include the work of such varied thinkers as Jarislov Pelikan, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Emmanuel Levinas and others as well as biblical and rabbinic texts.
Haiti Relief
To help provide relief to the 3 million people in Haiti affected by the devastating earthquake, Temple Micah suggests contributing to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund established by American Jewish World Service. Also see the AJWS website for Jewish texts that expound the moral obligation to respond to humanitarian crises.
