Why Israel Matters is a series of letters to the millennial generation addressed to their questions, doubts, struggles, and need to understand why our relationship with the State of Israel matters for our own future and the future of the Jewish People. Rabbi Rosove probes the thinking of young American Jews (and their parents) beyond the headlines and polarization between Israelis and liberal American Jews and between liberal and conservative American Jews when discussing Israel, its policies and its aspirations.

Rabbi John L. Rosove is Rabbi Emeritus at Temple Israel of Hollywood.

Start your week off right with TIOH's resident Text-pert and lively, fun group of congregants. Study Talmud in a confortable setting and discuss how it relates to our lives today. No prior knowledge of Talmud or Hebrew required.

Friday mornings:
January 24, 31 and February 7, 2020 - 9:15 to 10:30 am.
Dr. Debra Linesch
Class limit: 15 people.

Based on the Japanese process of Kintsugi, repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, this 3-part workshop focusses on the processes of relief (breaking) and solace (restoring). The project includes text study, controlled breakage and intentional repair. No previous study or art experience is required. 

In each session we will explore the work of a single philosopher. Session 1 will look at the work of Tamar Ross an Orthodox Jewish Feminist and her approach to halachic change. Session 2 will concentrate on the thinking of the modern Orthodox Philospher Menachem Fisch whose work unpacks the rational nature of religious disputes and in the third session we turn to the work of Benjamin Sommer who asks the question in what sense can we believe in revelation.

If you like to read and discuss books, this is for you. We aim to meet every other month. Rabbi Missaghieh will facilitate a discussion on The Library Book by Susan Orelan (a TIOH member).  The Library Book is a non-fiction account of the 1986 LA Public Library fire, the mystery behind “who did it” and an exploration of the role of the library for Americans past and present.  Read a review here : https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/books/review/susan-orlean-library-book.html

This group meets during day-time hours. Light cheese and crackers with beverages will be served.
