Lunch & Learn: Jewish Wisdom for Life’s Great Questions

Join Rabbi Silk on the first Wednesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. for a fabulous new monthly lunch & learn. In this class, we will explore the big questions of life as refracted through the Jewish tradition. Using the IYUN program from Hillel’s Jewish Learning Fellowship, we will read – broadly and generously – traditional Jewish texts on the conceptions of divinity, the inner life versus the public persona, the power of speech, community, and more. Bring your lunch, we will provide dessert, beverages, and nourishment for your mind and soul.

Pre-registration is required, please contact Shira in Rabbi Silk’s office at shiram@emanuelhouston.org.
