| Lunch and Learn: Special Sukkot Study with Rabbi Mitch and Dr. Rev. Jim Lemler Tuesday, October 18th, 2011 12:00 - 1:00pm In the sacred Jewish season, we commemorate how the Children of Israel dwelled in sukkot (fragile booths) when they left Egypt. These temporary structures symbolize the connection between our own fragility as human beings and the compassionate power of God's sheltering presence. Rabbi Mitch and Dr. Reverend Jim Lemler will explore how this metaphor of fragility and power can help us to consider building the path of peace among people of faith, and the key questions that we encounter in this contrast between Divine authority and human frailty. We will welcome friends from Christ Church for this special Lunch 'n' Learn. A kosher lunch will be served. This discussion is presented by the Sholom Center for Interfaith Learning and Fellowship. Lunch 'n' Learn will continue on Tuesdays throughout this fall. |
