Please join Cantor Edmondson and our Director of Education, Phil Hankin, as together we will participate in a worldwide text study. The four Hebrew Union College campuses are offering text study sessions on June 6 at 1:00 PM as a way to honor the president of the school, Rabbi Aaron Panken, Ph.D., z"l who recently passed away. HUC's program is called "Sheloshim for Sheloshim: 30 Minutes of Text Study in Honor of the Sheloshim of Rabbi Aaron Panken, Ph.D., z"l." As a group, we will attend and participate via video chat. Note that this program will begin later than our traditional Lunch 'n Learn. The study begins at 1PM, but feel free to join us earlier to preview the materials. We hope you'll join us to engage in some very special text study as we celebrate Rabbi Panken's life and mourn the loss of this great scholar and mensch.

This group is being taught by Rabbi Dvora Weisberg, Ph.D., Professor of Rabbinics via video.
