Join Rabbi Langowitz in exploring how contemporary Jewish thinkers have sought to make Jewish ethics, customs, and spirituality relevant for our lives today. In this course we will explore the great Jewish minds of the last century and consider how their ideas can help us answer the big questions in our own lives, like: “How do we know which Jewish traditions still have relevance?” “Who or what is G-d, and how does spirituality guides our actions? and What are our responsibilities as Jews in the modern era?” Judaism has grown and been shaped by many different historical and cultural backgrounds; learn how Judaism can interact with our lives today.
Tuesdays, February 5, 12, 19, 26, and March 5, 7:00-8:30pm

Questions About Judaism We Haven’t Asked the Rabbi
Come to explore with Judy Schaffert questions we might not bring up to clergy but we still wonder about. Examples may include: What do Jews believe about the messiah? Does being Jewish require more of me than living by the Golden Rule? What if I disagree with teachings in the Torah about slavery, the role of women, or homosexuality?
Tuesday 7:00-8:30pm January 29
Free for Temple Solel Members, $18 for nonmembers

Stanley Mirvis: Jews of the Caribbean: Origins and Legacies
Sunday, April 7, 2019 at 10:30am
ASU Assistant Professor of History, Jewish Studies
Temple Solel is pleased to host
Stanley Mirvis, whose topic is The Jews of the Caribbean: Origins and Legacies. His presentation will invite questions from the audience.
How did Jews get to the Caribbean? What did they do when they got there? How did living in the Caribbean affect the practice of Judaism? Are there still Jews in the Caribbean? And, what is their impact on Jewish history as a whole? This talk will answer these questions and more. It will rescue Caribbean Jews from the margins of history to suggest some of the ways their story and their continued legacy help to enrich our understanding of Diasporic Jewishness and Judaism more generally.
