Certain individuals who are only mentioned briefly in Torah have a great deal to teach. They remind us to pay attention to the wisdom that can be found among people we might otherwise dismiss. We will begin with the story of Serach\, the daughter of Asher\, who is mentioned twice in Torah\, but has a richly developed folk tradition in midrash and other Jewish lore. \nBiography: \nRabbi Barbara Penzner served Temple Hillel B’nai Torah from 1995 until 2023\, when she became Rabbi Emerita. She is currently the Interim Executive Director of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA). \nAfter graduation from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 1987\, Rabbi Barbara and her husband Brian Rosman made their home in Newton and Boston. She is among the founders of Mayyim Hayyim\, co-chaired the New England Jewish Labor Committee\, and served as president of the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis and President of the RRA. \nMoshe Waldoks \nWhat’s Kabbalah? \nWhat are the myths and truths about Kabbalah? I’ll present a short history of Kabbalah and its impact on Jewish life. \nWe’ll be introduced to the “Tree of Life”; to the Kabbalistic “Big Bang Theory; to the major Kabbalistic teachers and their descendants\, and more. There will be time for questions and comments. \nBiography: \nReb Moshe is the Rabbi emeritus of TBZ\, Temple Beth Zion\, an independent congregation in Brookline\, MA. He earned his doctorate in Jewish intellectual history at Brandeis University\, \nHe was ordained as a non-denominational rabbi by Rabbis Zalman Schachter and Everett Gendler\, of blessed memory. and Rabbi Arthur Green\, may he be enriched for a long life. \nReb Moshe was one of founders of the Tibetan-Jewish dialogue.\, The Jew in the Lotus describes our meeting with the Dalai Lama. He is also the co-editor of THE BIG BOOK OF JEWISH HUMOR. \nOur Partners
