Rabbi's Sermon for March 31, 2017
"On Wednesday, the principal of Ridgefield High School and the Superintendent of Ridgefield schools sent emails to the parents and guardians of their students. By midnight that night, these emails had been forwarded to me by multiple congregants who wanted to make sure that I knew what had happened. The messages from the school told us that over the weekend, anti-semetic and racist graffiti, including a swastika, had been found on the campus of the Ridgefield High School. Both Dr. Gross and Dr. Baldwin condemned the behavior as hateful and unacceptable. I immediately reached out to both of them, sharing my deep concerns and offering my support and help as the school community dealt with these most recent incidents."

Archaeological discoveries in Israel are always controversial and fascinating.  Come hear about recent historical discoveries!

With over 30 years of experience in archaeological fieldwork, Jeff has participated in numerous excavations including at Tel Aphek, Israel, and in Connecticut and Rhode Island, as well as directed 21 archaeological field schools for the University of Connecticut and Indiana University, among others.
