Lunch and Learn

Saturday, May 12, 2018 • 27 Iyyar 5778

12:30 PM

After Shabbat morning services (about noon), Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi will lead a Lunch and Learn discussion on "Tikkun Olam -- Repairing the World". In the second half of the Alenu, we hope for the day when we will be able "to perfect the world under God's sovereignty: l'takken olam b'malkhut Shaddai". The phrase is from the Mishna. What does it mean? What are we expected to do, exactly? Are the activities it entails sufficient to fulfill our obligations as Jews? Ta sh'ma -- come and hear and discuss.
