Monday's with Meaning with Rabbi Zelony
Monday, Nov 3rd 10:30a to 11:30a
We are excited to resume Mondays with Meaning class as of Monday, August 4 at 10:30 am. The class will be hybrid – both in person and on Zoom as we have done in the past. We are very delighted to introduce Rabbi Elana Zelony as teacher of the class. Rabbi Zelony is known as a wonderful teacher and her class will lead into the High Holidays. The class is titled: Thugs, Priests and Ugly Ones: Talmud Tales of Tshuva. If tshuva were easy, the Talmud wouldn't tell so many stories about people struggling with it. Learn from some less than perfect role models about facing our flaws and making amends.
