Shabbat Evening Services: The Benefit of Doubt with Rabbi Michael Marmur (Wisdom & Wonder Series)
2025-11-07 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
6:00 pm Shabbat Services
Followed by Optional Dinner and Learning with Rabbi Michael Marmur
Rabbi Michael Marmur, our Wisdom & Wonder speaker, will participate in our Shabbat Evening Service. We will also hear from The Giving Tree as they launch their annual Holiday Wish List Program.
In this week’s Torah portion we read of the Binding of Isaac, often read as the classic example of religious certainty. In this session, and in Rabbi Michael Marmur’s remarks during Friday night Shabbat services, we will highlight doubt rather than certainty, and suggest that doubt is to be embraced as a crucial tool rather than demonized or rejected. Where does doubt figure in Jewish tradition? Come to the session and find out!
Wisdom & Wonder invites you to engage with deep questions, explore new ideas, and learn from dynamic scholars.
Dinner Prices:
Members: $38 per person
Guests of Members: $43 per person
Prices increase by $5 per person as of Monday, October 27.
Registration closes at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, November 4.

Shabbat Evening Services: Are We the Ever Dying People? A Case Study in Jewish Resilience with Rabbi Michael Paley (Wisdom & Wonder Series)
2026-01-16 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
We’re so sorry, this event has reached capacity. For any questions, please contact Susie Federman at SFederman@tbeboca.org . Thank you.

Followed by Optional Dinner and Learning with Rabbi Michael Paley
Rabbi Michael Paley, our Wisdom & Wonder speaker, will participate in our Shabbat Evening Service.
In 1967, Prof. Simon Rawidowicz’s article, “Israel: The Ever Dying People” was published 10 years after his death. The 1950’s had been a time of Jewish optimism but around the Six Day War fear had returned to the Jewish community. The essay focused on how every generation of Jews feels they are the last ones. Antisemitism, pogroms, expulsions and assimilation were always about to overcome us. In our times, we are no different. So how did we not only survive but thrive? Together we will explore the challenges of the post Holocaust, post-Communist Hungarian Jewish community as a case study of Jewish innovation and resilience.
Dinner and Learning Experience Pricing:
Members: $35 per person
Guests of Members: $40 per person
