CLASS: Thinking About Prayer With Rabbi Tom (In-person | Registration REQUIRED)
This year as the month of Elul begins to draw us towards the approaching high Holidays, Rabbi Tom invites you to join him for two classes/conversations about prayer. In the class we’ll review the structure of the formal prayer service and explore some of the different ways our tradition thinks about prayer. And we will share how we confront and work with the central metaphors we find in the liturgy.
The Rebbe's Tish - Shabbat Around The Dinner Table (On Zoom)
Join Rabbi Tom at his dinner table to welcome the sabbath. All you have to do is to come to your own shabbat table with some challah, some wine and some candles to light!
We’ll all welcome the sabbath with some blessings, and Rabbi Tom will teach a traditional shabbat “zemer” (song), followed by some Torah study. You’re welcome to start your shabbat meal or have a nosh while we’re learning together. Then we’ll end with the mourners kaddish and a closing song. The Zoom link can be found in the CBI newsletter or upon request to the office.

It is observed as a day of communal mourning that is also associated with several other disasters that have befallen the Jewish people, such as the beginning of the first Crusade in 1096 and the expulsion from Spain in 1492.
