Weekly Brief

As a reminder, Rav Glickman's shiurim will not meet tonight.
The remaining schedule for Rabbi Glickman's shiurim is as follows:
Tuesday, January 2, 8:00pm - Eruv Tavshillin and Eruv Techumim
Tuesday, January 9, 8:00pm - Mechirat Chametz

Tomorrow, Wednesday December 27 at 8:15pm is the final class of Yoetzet Halacha Shoshana Samuels 3 part Taharat HaMishpacha Refresher course. 

Women of the community are welcome to join Yoetzet Halacha Shoshana Samuels in a review of the foundations and practicalities of the laws of Jewish family life. The course will include source-study, real-life scenarios and discussion of the unique ways these laws affect our lives and relationships. Each class is independent from the previous one, so join even if it's your first session! Count Down to Spiritual Rebirth meets Wednesday, December 27, 8:15pm at Shaare Tefillah, 510 Claremont Avenue, Teaneck.
This final class will delve into the process of becoming tehora from the necessary waiting time prior to counting, to counting the seven clean days and approaching the mikvah. There is much to know about each of these steps that can clarify many questions that come up for women "on the ground". The series will culminate with the laws of preparation for, and immersion, in the mikvah, allowing us to come full circle back to "The Jewish Approach to Marital Intimacy", as a woman returns to her status of tehora.
 
Parasha shiur: Thursday, December 28, at 8:30pm - Rabbi Murray Sragow will be speaking.

Saturday night, January 6, 2018 at 8:30pm, we will be presenting the beautiful, acclaimed film: Fanny's Journey. Based on a true story, the film is an incredible tale of bravery, strength and survival, a story of a daring young girl who will stop at nothing and fear no one. In 1943, 13-year old Fanny led 10 young children out of France on an impossible journey to safety across the Swiss border. Tickets are $8 in advance (click this link:  https://www.rinat.org/event/fannys-journey.html ) and $10 at the door. Please order early to ensure seating.

Sunday evening, January 14, 2018 at 8:00pm, The Adult Education and Social Action Committees will present a lecture in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day featuring Rabbi Saul Berman who will speak on "Selma 1965 : Jewish Lessons from Prison."  Rabbi Berman participated in voter registration campaigns and demonstrations in Selma, Alabama during March 1965. Arrested twice, he will share his motivation for that participation and his experiences with both Jews and non-Jews with whom he was incarcerated.
