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!
Who Wrote the Torah?
Was it God? People? Does it make a difference? If people were involved, who were they?
Join us to explore these questions Friday, June 13.
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 what tradition and history have to say about how wrote the Torah -- and why this does or doesn't matter to us
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.
