What can Moses, a Symbol of Every Person, Teach us as Human Beings?

We are delighted to host Rhode Island's 3 Reform congregations, which come together each March to celebrate Shabbat together. Rabbi Norman Cohen, Provost Emeritus of Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, will be our keynote speaker. As we study passages in Exodus 3-5(The Burning Bush), and Exodus 14 (Crossing the Red Sea), we, like Moses, will confront our own demons -- our self-doubt, our   perceived limitations and our fears. By filtering these biblical stories through the prism of Midrash and our own lives, they will come alive as we address enduring human questions.   

Rabbis Les Gutterman, Sarah Mack, Jim Rosenberg and Andrew Klein will lead us in worship

Cantors Judith Seplowin and Remmie Brown, and Rabbinical Student Marc Katz will lead us in singing

Moses' Struggle as a Family Member: Dealing with Miriam and Aaron's Deaths

Through a close and exciting reading of Numbers 20, we will discuss Moses as a brother and how he deals with the death of his siblings. In so doing, each of us will confront our own life   experiences, relationships and struggles with those whom we love. All are welcome, and though there is no charge for our Kiddush luncheon, we want to have enough food for all who are present. So please RSVP to Margie Blowers at 245-6536 or Marjorie@templehabonim.org and let her know that you'll be joining us.
