Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Book Talk with CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in Conversation with Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose Monday, August 8th at 5:00 pm ***Webinar link will be announced soon***
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt will speak about his new book, It Could Happen Here: Why America Is Tipping from Hate to the Unthinkable―And How We Can Stop It.
About this Book: Jonathan Greenblatt has made it his personal mission to demonstrate how antisemitism, racism, and other insidious forms of intolerance can destroy a society, taking root as quiet prejudices but mutating over time into horrific acts of brutality. Greenblatt offers a bracing primer on how we—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society—can strike back against hate. Just because it could happen here, he shows, does not mean that the unthinkable is inevitable.
Families with young children are invited to celebrate Shabbat with Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham and his famous puppets! No reservation required, simply come as you are. We will enjoy a delicious Kiddush lunch as well.

We are pleased to announce our Congregation-Wide High Holy Day "Big Read" Book, God in Your Body, by Jay Michaelson.
About this book: This groundbreaking book is the first comprehensive treatment of the body in Jewish spiritual practice and an essential guide to the sacred. With meditation practices, physical exercises, visualizations and sacred text, you will learn how to experience the presence of the Divine in, and through, your body. And by cultivating an embodied spiritual practice, you will transform everyday activities―eating, walking, breathing, washing―into moments of deep spiritual realization, uniting sacred and sensual, mystical and mundane.
