Please join Rabbi Annie Tucker and Professor Roberta Rosenthal Kwall for an important conversation, moderated by Dan Cedarbaum:
"Boundaries & Opportunities — Reimagining Centrist American Judaism in the 21st Century"
Wednesday, August 30, 7:30 p.m at Ezra-Habonim, the Niles Township Jewish Congregation, 4500 Dempster Street, Skokie
In the fall of 2001, the journal
Conservative Judaism devoted much space to discussing the question, “Will the Center Hold?”. With controversies swirling around about intermarriage, patrilineal descent, and other issues, we return to that question on August 30. What can we do to help to assure that, outside of Orthodoxy, communities that embody a vibrant, authentic Judaism will be available to our grandchildren, and to their grandchildren? Our two speakers bring important, and different, perspectives to bear on these vital matters.
Dan Cedarbaum (moderator) is the Executive Director of The Mordecai M. Kaplan Center for Jewish Peoplehood.

Moriah has a loop system available for individuals using hearing aids, to improve communication access for our members and guests with hearing loss. To access this system, tell your audiologist or hearing instrument specialist that your synagogue is "looped" and ask if there is a t-coil in your hearing aid(s). Then make an appointment to have it activated. If your hearing aids do not have a t-coil, talk with him/her about alternate ways of accessing the loop.
