Chesed and Tikun Olam

Our Tikun Olam heroes of the week are the leaders and the congregants who participated in our first ever Interfaith challah baking workshop on April 13. Led by Mimi Qunell and Lisa Ohlhausen, the CBS contingent included Shira Isenberg, Cheryl Miller, Bridge Biernacki, Megan Nagelberg, Jill Lexier, Stephanie Budrow, Susan Agrest and Nikki Rashes as well as Rachel Israel, Johnna Whitaker, Leslie Noel and her mother. Joining us were 8 women from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The group made a babka with lemon, cream cheese and poppy seed filling. There was a teaching about a Jewish perspective on making bread. CBS members showed our guests the Sanctuary and took out a Torah scroll to show them what it looks like. Lisa remarked that our guests “were the loveliest group of women you could imagine! They asked great questions and were genuinely interested in learning about Judaism. One of them said she felt holiness in the Sanctuary.” Bridge is going to coordinate with them to come for a Friday evening service. This activity was so much more than a bread baking class; it was an opportunity to bring people together and extend our boundaries. Thank you so much to Mimi and Lisa for organizing such a feel-good and powerful interfaith event! If you would like to nominate a person or person for Tikun Olam hero, please email rkramen3@gmail.com.

What: Breishit/Genesis Part 1: From Adam to Abraham, the first 20 generations

An online course for Adult Learners

Focusing our attention on some of the world's oldest and most profound stories, the curriculum features a multi-faceted approach to Torah study utilizing:

- Modern and classical commentaries

- Interpretations of Genesis that range from rabbis, to scholars, to artists and poets. 

- Opportunities to learn key Hebrew vocabulary in the context of learning the stories. 

The narratives of the course take learners from the universal tales of the creation of the world, the flood, and the Tower of Babel, to the foundational tales of Abraham, Sarah, and the beginning of the Jewish people. The themes of family, faith, honor and dishonor, passion and power, provide a rich exploration of our people and ourselves.
