Musings with Rabbi David Wolpe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Professor Louis Ginzberg was the greatest scholar of rabbinic Midrash in his day, with a vast range of learning in many languages. My father told me that once, at a reception at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where Ginzberg taught, a woman approached him and in the course of discussion, began arguing with him about a point in Midrash. After a long, fruitless argument, Ginzberg said, “Why don’t we check the ‘Jewish Encyclopedia’ — would you accept that as an authority?” The woman agreed.
They checked the encyclopedia and, of course, Ginzberg was proved correct. As he closed the book, he said, “Yes, that’s what I thought I wrote.”
In our day, Internet searches and the ubiquity of information make scholarship a somewhat different enterprise. Nonetheless, the person who studies and memorizes and synthesizes vast amounts of information is different in essence from the one who looks it up. Ginzberg was not correct simply because he wrote the article, but because he had spent a lifetime living Midrash. Let your children see you reading, studying, learning. It is not enough to get tidbits from a smart phone. We sacrificed the garden not for the screen of reference, but for the tree of knowledge.
Rabbi David Wolpe

The Torah through the Eyes of the Zohar With Marcus Rubenstein In this four session-course, we will learn the code language that is used to decipher the major text of Jewish Mysticism, the Zohar. The symbolic language and paradigms in the Zohar can help us to connect to the Holy in new and often re-invigorating ways. After learning the basics and the key to this code language, we will delve deeply into representative Zohar passages that can illuminate ways in which God and Torah can heighten the meaning of our everyday lives.
All levels of Hebrew comprehension (including none) are welcome. All texts will be translated into English. No prior knowledge of Jewish Mysticism needed.
We were gifted with the opportunity to have Marcus teach at Hillcrest Jewish Center. Despite his young age, he is extremely knowledgeable in Jewish mysticism and the Zohar in particular. Rabbi Kogan strongly suggests that you participate in this enriching and inspirational experience.
This Program is Free of Charge and Open to the Community Refreshments will be served
Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly
We are honored to have Marcus to teach us and hope that you will join us.

Sisterhood Invites Everyone to our Summer Camp
Eutony Session
Stress-Reducing Techniques With Sabrina Kerner.
The session will incorporate gentle movement and responsiveness to voice.
The session is open to the community. Wear comfortable clothes.
Eutony is awareness and perception of the body as an integrated whole rather than a collection of systems. It utilizes movement to effect mind-body balance and wellness. To facilitate this process, Eutony includes passive movement, awareness of bone and muscle tonus, and responsiveness to the vibrational qualities of the voice.
Sabrina Kerner graduated from Escuela Argentina y Latinoamericana de Eutonia. She studied voice with Natacha Muniz and took courses with Maestro Eugene Rabine, founder-director of Rabine Institute for Functional Voice Pedagogy in Germany.
