Further Instructions
Post-B’nai Mitzvah Education for the Real
World With Rabbi Lawrence Pinsker
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM starting September 30th
There’s a famous poster that says: “This life is a test. It is
only a test. If this had been a real life, you would have received
further instructions as to where to go and what to do.”
Sometimes life really feels that way. But Judaism teaches that we
received “further instructions” on how to live in spite of the
existence of a lot of distracting, confusing, and frightening
attitudes and events. Whatever Jewish education you may have
received, we’re pretty confident that it probably didn’t go into
those “further instructions” because somebody thought you weren’t
mature enough to understand them. We think you’re ready now. If you
had your Bar/Bat Mitzvah in 2006 to 2009, we invite you to join us.
There’s no homework, no written essays, no exams—just a great group
of young people examining issues that interest them, evaluating
whether and how some of the tools Judaism has provided to us can
help us understand real-life events and situations.
This group will meet weekly and begin with a light dinner
followed by the evening’s activity. There is no fee for this
program. For planning purposes we ask that you register by calling
452 3711 x453 a few days before each meeting to let us know your are
coming. |
