    Thursdays: 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm
    4 Sessions,  February 22, 29; March 7,28
     
    There is much debate as to how Jewish Jesus was. Was he a Jewish reformer on the level with Hillel? Or was he a revolutionary, preaching a new theology, alien to mainstream Judaism? We hear Jesus quoted all the time, but do we know what he actually said?
     
    What we do know is that the writers of the Gospels were very knowledgeable about the Jewish Bible and quoted it frequently. In our four sessions, we will look at one of the four Gospels each week and ask ourselves, is this really Jewish? We might also bring in some later material like the Letters of Paul to see how the message evolved. We welcome all opinions and backgrounds and let’s see if we can come to some of our own conclusions. We will use The Jewish Annotated New
    Testament as a text, although most Christian Bibles will suffice.
     
    There is no fee for this course; however, donations in support of Adult Education at CBI will be appreciated.

  • Kaddish for Bernie Madoff




    January 7th, 2024, 3:00 pm 
    Congregation Beth Israel
    Members Only Event $10 suggested donation


    A showing of the movie Kaddish for Bernie Madoff followed by a Q & A via Zoom with film creator Alicia Jo Rabins and director Alicia J. Rose. The film is a hybrid of musical memoir and dazzling narrative fantasy about the greatest financial fraud in history, as seen through the eyes of musician/poet Alicia Jo Rabins.

    If you were embarrassed and disgusted when a prominent Jewish businessman bilked investors including preeminent Jewish and secular charities, you will recognize yourself and be eager to participate in a discussion of this vulnerable work of art born from the unique perspective of an artist.
