While important\, this conception belies the multi-dimensional ways that racism affects society as a whole. In fact\, the Talmud itself explores the complexity of racism as a systemic force. This series will invite participants to explore what ancient Jewish texts teach us about racism in America today. We will explore three Talmudic frameworks for understanding the role of racism in our country. All are invited to workshop these ideas and think through how they might be useful\, and where their application is limited or maybe even damaging. \nThis unit is free for BJ members\, and $60 for non-members (includes unit 2B). \nRegister Now \n            URL:https://bj.org/event/an-ox-an-idol-and-a-stolen-beam/2020-11-11/ LOCATION:Remote Access Only\, NY\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bj.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mick-haupt-eQ2Z9ay9Wws-unsplash-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="B'nai Jeshurun":MAILTO:info@bj.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201110T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201110T203000 DTSTAMP:20201027T200322Z CREATED:20201020T205355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201027T200322Z UID:10003604-1605034800-1605040200@bj.org SUMMARY:Ivrit Live (Virtual Hebrew Lessons) DESCRIPTION:Come join other BJ members in learning Ivrit (Hebrew) live and online.

To awaken the inner spring from which prayer flows and to rejuvenate the words printed in the prayer book. To revive the set prayers\, and to discover the prayers that are not printed in the prayer book. To recognize prayer as a kind of state of being\, of presence\, in which a praying person stands before that which is Presence itself\, and strengthens the awareness of the beating heart of the world.” \nRabbi Dov Singer\, head of Yeshivat Makor Chaim and the Study Center for Renewal\, is an educational innovator and a leader of the modern Israeli revival of Hassidut. \nFor BJ members only. \n \nParticipants are required to purchase Rabbi Dov Singer’s book to follow along with during the class.  URL:https://bj.org/event/prepare-my-prayer/2020-11-10/ LOCATION:Remote Access Only\, NY\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Roly-Matalon_duo-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="B'nai Jeshurun":MAILTO:info@bj.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201110T180000 DTSTAMP:20201104T183230Z CREATED:20201020T202124Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201104T183230Z UID:10003582-1605024000-1605031200@bj.org SUMMARY:Kadima@BJ DESCRIPTION:“Kadima” is the name of our Hebrew school program.
