Intro to Kashrut with R’ Hannah Jensen

Guy Branum joins Rabbi David Kasher to discuss Ashera and the presence of a goddess in the Torah.

Let us not turn to the garden—or the theater, or the studio—to escape this world, but to enrich the soul, to strengthen our hearts to plant for a better future. Making art, tending gardens, telling stories, especially from within the narrowest constraints—all of these can be sacred acts of defiance.

In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society? Join Rabbi Brous in a series of text studies that explore the Jewish sources that form the core ideas behind her new book, The Amen Effect.

After Shabbat Services, please join Rabbi Tamar Elad-Appelbaum in a text study at Shalhevet. Rabbi Elad-Appelbaum is the founder of ZION: An Eretz Israeli Congregation in Jerusalem; and the co-founder and co-head of the Beit Midrash for Israeli Rabbis at the Hartman Institute and Ha Midrasha at Oranim and of the Ritual Center. She is a groundbreaking peace builder and a true rabbinic partner in so many ways. She speaks about peace at a time when very few people are speaking about it.
