Nov 24Adult Learning: Reverence and Other Virtues: An Exploration of Trancendent Values for Skeptics, Agnostics, Atheists, and Scientists, Part II
Sunday, Nov 24th 9:45a to 11:15a
In his book Reverence: Renewing a Forgotten Virtue, Paul Woodruff points out that reverence is a crucial civic virtue that’s operative in both the personal and public spheres. He goes on to explain that virtues combine both emotion and intellectual understanding to lead us to act, automatically and habitually, in ways that reflect human dignity and that promote our well-being and flourishing. Critically, while virtues put us into connection with something that transcends our own specific and personal existence, their appreciation (even worship) are consistent with secular worldviews and we need not believe in “theology or transcendent myths” to find and cultivate virtue About the Instructor: Rabbi Rim Meirowitz was ordained as a Conservative rabbi in 1975. He be came the founding headmaster of the Rashi school in 1985, and he joined the Reform movement at that time. In 1997, Rabbi Rim became the third rabbi of Temple Shir Tikvah. He helped build our building in 2000 and has been blessed by every moment he has had with the Shir Tikvah community. -

Dec 3Mussar Practice Group
Tuesday, Dec 3rd 7:30p to 9:00p
In the library with Rabbi Marcia Plumb. Contact: Bill Prenovitz with questions. Mussar is the Jewish spiritual renewal movement which focuses on connecting spiritual growth with day-to-day living and behavior. The practice of Mussar (מוּסַר) began in the middle ages and then was popularized in the nineteenth century by Rabbi Salanter (1810-1883). Since then, it was largely limited to practice in Orthodox communities until the early 2000s when Alan Morinis revived it and triggered broad interest across all of the Jewish denominations. Practicing Mussar entails working in a group to enhance spiritual and behavioral growth by finding the balance in personality traits such as humility, patience, gratitude, and responsibility. Mussar uses traditional writings, contemporary poetry, group discussions and personal exercises to help the participants progress on their own paths of leaning how to best connect their daily lives with their spiritual values. Space is limited -- priority will be given to member participants. Participants are asked to attend all sessions. -
