Renewing the Covenant

In the 1990s Reform thinker, Eugene Borowitz capped a monumental career with his magnum opus, Renewing the Covenant. In it he traces the emergence of postmodern Jewish philosophy from the disaster of the Shoah, and describes a potential new approach to our tradition, one that recenters God in our language and practice. This session will sample the Borowitz texts that can help us reimagine God’s Presence in our lives as we approach Shavuot and Sinai.

Love is the Antidote

As Jews and as human beings, this last year has caused our hearts to break countless times. Our world is broken. To wake up each day and face our difficulties we must be strong and have courage. The greatest source of power to face adversity is to surround ourselves with love. We’ll study and reflect on some of the great texts and prayers from our tradition.
