SUMMARY:Erev Shabbat Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:7:30 pm Erev Shabbat Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz \nNOTE: This service will be on Zoom. \nPurim is coming soon! Jews all over the world read the Book of Esther publicly in synagogue on the holiday. Whenever the name of the villain “Haman” is read aloud\, the congregation traditionally responds with loud noises\, boo’s and hisses to ‘blot out’ Haman’s name. We’ll study the roots of this raucous tradition\, and find a deep message of caring for the vulnerable at its core. How does this message apply today?\n \nRSVP to info@beittikvah.org if you’d like to join us for this Zoom service.

SUMMARY:Shabbat Morning Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz
DESCRIPTION:10:00 am  Shabbat Morning Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz\n \nWhen Slow and Steady Wins the Race\nThe Torah readings at this time of year bring us the narratives of Isaac\, the middle one in a line of three classic Jewish patriarchs from the biblical Book of Genesis. In many ways\, Isaac is the least noteworthy of the three. His father\, Abraham\, and his son\, Jacob\, were the fiery\, charismatic ones. Isaac seems relatively quiet and nondescript by comparison. However\, a close reading shows that his personality brought unique leadership gifts which the other patriarchs lacked. What are the advantages of a slow\, steady and faithful approach\, as shown by Isaac’s example? \n  \nA reservation is required to attend all services.\nIf you’d like to join us for this service\, please send an email to info@beittikvah.org  by midnight on Thursday\, November 4th.

SUMMARY:Shabbat Morning Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz
DESCRIPTION:10:00 am  Shabbat Morning Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz\n \nDid Hagar Really Come Back?\nFor Parshat Vayera\, we’ll read about the expulsion of Hagar\, Abraham’s first wife. The story tells of her cruel treatment at Abraham and Sarah’s hands. However\, in spite of her misfortune\, many commentators imagine that this episode didn’t end her relationship with Abraham. Rather\, they theorize that Hagar later returned and remarried Abraham. Why do they imagine this? What would it take to allow reconciliation under such circumstances? How does this inspire us to reflect on our own relationships\, their limitations and the possibilities of healing? \n  \nA reservation is required to attend all services.\nIf you’d like to join us for this service\, please send an email to info@beittikvah.org  by midnight on Thursday\, October 21st.

In Chapter 10\, we find 72 letters bookmarked by mysterious upside down letters.

DESCRIPTION:7:30 pm   Holocaust Remembrance Day\nKabbalat Shabbat Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz \nThe Rise of Fascism & The Tower of Babel \nFor Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) we reflect on the rise of the Nazi fascist movement. As part of our service\, we will read the biblical story of the Tower of Babel\, which many interpret to describe an ancient precursor to modern fascism. In what ways does the Tower of Babel story reflect some of the characteristics of Nazi Germany? Does it reflect any characteristics of the USA today? Is there a Jewish obligation to oppose fascism? Do we\, as Jews\, possess a unique ability to speak against fascism? How should we do so today?\n  \nRSVP to info@beittikvah.org if you’d like to join us for this Zoom event.

SUMMARY:Passover: Embracing Matzah with Rabbi Doug Heifetz (virtual service)
DESCRIPTION:7:30 pm   Passover: Embracing Matzah\nKabbalat Shabbat Service with Rabbi Doug Heifetz \nNo Room for Fluff – The Inner Meaning of Matzah \nDuring our service on this night before Passover\, we explore the spiritual meaning of matzah and the avoidance of leavened products during Passover. Beyond the most obvious dietary meanings\, Jewish tradition has often associated leavening with puffed-up ego and the nonessential trappings of our lives that needlessly limit us. By turning away from leavening\, and by embracing matzah\, we can get rid of the clutter – both spiritually and physically – and return to our essence. The holiday opens the door for a Jewish ‘Feng Shui’ (traditional Chinese practice of physical arrangement of space).\n  \nRSVP to info@beittikvah.org if you’d like to join us for this Zoom event.
