Heresy and Revolutions with Rabbi Samuel Kaye
Wednesdays, 7:00 pm (in-person and online)
Join Rabbi Kaye for an adult education program on some of the lesser-known stories in our Jewish history.
Together, we will take a deep dive into three major ideas and figures from our Jewish texts and history that have been viewed as heretical or revolutionary. From the story of Alesha ben Abuya, Rabbinic Judaism’s first ‘heretic’, to the chutzpadick Jews of the late 19th century who overturned the ‘Three Oaths’ and created modern Zionism. Along the way, we’ll also stop in the 1600’s to meet the man who claimed to be Moshiach, the one and only Shabbatai Tzvi.
