Brief Message from Rabbi Gartenberg

Jewish Spirituality: From Benares to Jerusalem: Rabbi Chaim Seidler Feller, Bierman Scholar in Residence 1/19-1/22/2006 See below for locations and times. All presentations are free and open to the public.

The major event of the month is the Bierman Scholar in Residence which features the brilliant and illuminating teaching of Rabbi Chaim Seidler Feller, the Director of the Hillel Foundation at UCLA. Chaim is a master of classic Jewish texts and Hasidic and Kabbalistic literature. He will be focusing his teaching on contemporary Jewish spirituality and the Sabbath. The Bierman Scholar in residence program is a joint event of Panim Hadashot, Congregation Beth Shalom, and the Hillel Foundation.

For those of you who like interactive learning I strongly recommend to you the Shabbat afternoon session. Rabbi Chaim is a master of the Beit Midrash style of interactive learning which is Panim Hadashot's approach to Jewish learning.

I look forward to seeing you at these stimulating and thought provoking talks.

Rabbi Dov Gartenberg
