This group meets on select Wednesdays at 12:15 p.m. with Rabbi Zemel beginning November 2, 2022.
This year, we will meet to study The Genius of Judaism by Bernard-Henri Levy.
Bernard-Henri Levy is one of the great moral voices, philosophers and social justice activists of our time. This book reflects his understanding of Judaism. Here, “Levy offers a fresh, surprising critique of a new and stealthy form of anti-Semitism on the rise as well as a provocative defense of Israel from the Left.”
Meeting Schedule:
November 2 and 16; December 21; January 4 and 18; February 1 and 22; March 1 and 29; April 26
To sign up, please contact Jeannelle D’Isa at disa@templemicah.org.
