On Friday evenings, starting in November, Rabbi Siff will begin teaching on a rotating schedule of 4 topics. Each of these 4 topics will form a year-long series.
1st Friday of each month: Taking it Home: Jewish Observance Outside the Synagogue–Rabbi Siff will explore the details and purpose of halachic practices. He will start with a discussion of the Sabbath, looking both at the details of observance and at how the Sabbath can transform our lives.
2nd Friday of each month: Jewish Prayer as a Spiritual Practice–Rabbi Siff will discuss the meaning of Jewish Prayer in general, and how the prayers help us relate to God and each other, and to grow as human beings.
3rd Friday of each month: Luzzatto’s “Path of the Upright”–this inspirational book, stemming from the ethical⁄mystical tradition, discusses 12 middot (virtues), which form steps on the path to a life infused with holiness. Each week, Rabbi Siff will discuss one middah.
4th Friday of each month: Judaism in our Everyday Life–Rabbi Siff will explore Judaism’s teachings about how we treat each other in our business, family and social lives.
Hope to see you there!
Rabbi David Siff
