J.B. Greenfield Chapel Shacharit Service

Invitation to Judaism is especially designed for newcomers to Judaism to learn the basics of our way of life, our way of thinking about God, and our way of looking at the world. In Introduction to Hebrew, you will learn to read Hebrew and recognize essential prayer vocabulary. No prior knowledge is necessary. This course is open to everyone, but is required for the Invitation to Judaism students.

This class will focus on the structure and meaning of Jewish prayer services as well as interpretation of the Torah, with a particular emphasis on the Torah portion for the Adult Bnei Mitzvah service. (Nasso: Numbers 4:21-7:89). This class is especially designed for those who did not have a bar or bat mitzvah when they were young. We will learn how to lead the Hebrew prayers for the Saturday morning service, and how to chant a few verses from the Torah. The Adult Bnei Mitzvah service is scheduled for May 22, 2021 at Beth Yeshurun.

Debates—philosophical, spiritual, ethical, and cultural—are at the heart of Judaism and Jewish life. This course was produced by the Jewish Theological Seminary and includes texts and videos with JTS professors on each of the 11 different topics. Rabbi Horwitz will guide the class through this engaging curriculum.

There are six million Jews in America. Hundreds of books are written yearly by and about Jews. Innumerable studies have been published about American Judaism. Yet American Jewry remains something of an enigma. What are the various religious schools of thought in Jewish life in this land? How did they emerge and develop? Who were the builders of American Jewish religious life and institutions? Which theologians have shaped the thinking of American Jews? What are the practical and ideological differences between Orthodox, Reform and Conservative Judaism? And will these trends coalesce in the future?

Where Heaven Meets Earth – An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism. Jewish mystics throughout the centuries yearned to come ever closer to our Creator, to penetrate the great mysteries of our world and the meaning of our existence. Using Rabbi Horwitz’s illuminating book, he will explore the various methods and opinions that the mystics uncovered in their quest for Ultimate Truth. The focus this year will be on the 16th century to the present day. Highly recommended to buy Rabbi Horwitz’s book: A Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism Reader (JPS, 2016).
