Shabbat Evening Services: Are We the Ever Dying People? A Case Study in Jewish Resilience with Rabbi Michael Paley (Wisdom & Wonder Series)

6:00 pm Shabbat Services
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
Prices increase by $5 per person as of Monday, January 5.

Shabbat Evening Services: Rabbi Rachel Mikva and February Birthday Blessings (Wisdom & Wonder Series)
2026-02-13 19:30 - 21:00 UTC | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
Rabbi Rachel Mikva will focus on dangerous religious ideas—all religious ideas are dangerous—not only those we might consider extremist, but even those that stand at the heart of faith, and your own. Because most religious traditions have always understood this peril, they have transmitted tools of self-critique. Putting Jewish thought and practice in conversation with Christianity and Islam, we explore how the potential for blessing in religion is bound up with its potential for harm, and the necessity of self-critical faith.
We will also be offering a special blessing to everyone born in the month of February.

About Rabbi Rachel Mikva
Rabbi Rachel Mikva, Herman E. Schaalman Professor of Jewish Studies and Senior Faculty Fellow at the Chicago Theological Seminary, served as a congregational rabbi for thirteen years before returning to academia. Her research and teaching focus on interpretation of the Hebrew Bible in various times and places, exploring how the ideas both shape and reflect the societies in which they unfold. The most profound truths are not simple ones, and they often live in dialectical tension with other truths. Pursuit of justice is essential, but the equally compelling call to mercy sometimes (gently) pushes justice aside. Freedom is a God-given right, but freedom without commitment and purpose leaves us rootless. Peace is our perpetual desire, even as we sometimes decide we must fight. We also live with the breathtaking and terrifying knowledge that religious passion is a catalyst for great good, but all too often is wielded as a weapon. She holds an AB from Stanford University, Rabbinic Ordination, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and a PhD from Jewish Theological Seminary.
