Are There Limits to What Jews Can Believe?
Want to be a practicing Jew -- even though you don't believe in Bible stories?
Want to celebrate Jewish holidays spiritually -- but without believing in a supernatural power?
Then this evening, Friday, Nov. 30, is for YOU!
Join us to share a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, eat, laugh, and learn. All are welcome.
Time: 6:15 PM
Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station
Childcare: available by reservation
After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:
6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Our special guest, Rabbi Jay Heyman of Kol Hadash Community for Humanistic Judaism, leads a lively, interactive teaching on what it means to be a Jewish humanist
8:15 - Dessert and schmoozing (time to hang out and chat)
Space is limited. Please contact Rabbi Bridget Wynne at Jewish Gateways, (510) 559-8140, or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org, to make a reservation and get directions and your food assignment. If your schedule doesn't allow you to bring a dish to share, we offer you the option of contributing $7 toward the dinner.
