Lunch & Learn: Monumental - Jewish Moments that Shape Generations
2024-08-27 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | FL
Taught by Rabbi Laila Haas
Join Rabbi Laila Haas for a 4 week journey through moments in time that have shaped the Jewish narrative.
Monumental moments to be explored: creation, revelation, wandering and promise. We will study texts from different time periods, perspectives and create our own commentary on the texts. We will ask questions like: what elements do these moments share that keep them relevant and meaningful? How have they shaped our own understanding of Judaism? What about these moments do we find challenging and how does that inform the way we see the world through Jewish eyes? We will go beyond the surface of each “monumental moment” and explore the deep richness, insight, spark and wisdom that each posses.
Join us in person at the Schaefer Family Campus or online.

Eilu v'Eilu - These and Those: A Debate on Jewish Values and American Politics
2024-08-29 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
A DEBATE ON JEWISH VALUES AND AMERICAN POLITICS BY TWO OF AMERICAN JEWRY’S MOST PROMINENT SOCIAL POLICY THINKERS
The Talmud records the famous divides between Hillel and Shammai, but when they honored each other in the midst of their disagreements, the Holy One would say: “Eilu V’Eilu Divrei Elohim Chayim – These words and those words are the words of the Living God.”
Thousands of years later, with our nation so divided, Temple Beth El is proud to host Dr. Tevi Troy and Rabbi David Saperstein for a night of engaging dialogue around the pressing issues facing our people and our nation today. Dr. Troy and Rabbi Saperstein will model how even political protagonists with sharply differing political, religious, and ideological views can engage in respectful and constructive dialogue, offering us an opportunity to learn from two extraordinary leaders and thinkers – the places where they differ, and where they find common ground.
