Shabbat Dinner May 9, 2008

Are you seeking connections to Jewish life and community?

Do you wonder about basic Jewish beliefs, and where they come from?

Then this event is for YOU!

Arguing with God: It's Basic to Jewish Tradition!

Jews have struggled with God for thousands of years about justice -- and injustice -- about suffering, and faith, and all life's big questions. Join us to explore this history and offer some arguments of our own.

Date: Friday, May 9

We will share a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, eat, laugh, and learn. All are welcome.

Time: 6:15 PM
Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station
Childcare: available by reservation

After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:

6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Rabbi Bridget Wynne will lead a lively interactive teaching on how arguing with God, and how it is basic to Jewish tradition
8:15 - Dessert and schmoozing (time to hang out and chat)
Space is limited, so RSVP is required.

Please contact Rabbi Bridget Wynne at Jewish Gateways, (510) 559-8140, or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org, for more information, and to make a reservation and get directions and your food assignment. If your schedule doesn't allow you to bring a dish to share, we offer you the option of contributing $7 toward the dinner.
