Come join Rabbi Cari for a new opportunity to connect and learn. Each week for the next eight weeks Rabbi Carole Balin, the first woman to earn tenure at the Reform Rabbinical Seminary in New York, will offer an alternative chapter for the book of Numbers to celebrate the 100 anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States. Members of our community are invited to read the chapter before our Tuesday gathering and discuss in community. Rabbi Cari plans on doing it over her afternoon cup of tea- so bring a beverage and join for a lively 30 minute intellectual engagement in our community.
