Then\, once the dust has settled and a coalition has been formed\, Jeremy will join us once again on November 8th. We’ll review the predictions\, address the outcomes\, and discuss the how and the why of these results\, along with what they mean for the future of Israel. \nRegister here \nThe New Knesset is generously sponsored by Carole and Jay Sterling and Family \nWATCH: Jeremy Leigh\, the head of the Israel Studies program at the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem\, discussed the upcoming Israeli elections scheduled for October 27th\, emphasizing that these are not normal circumstances due to recent events including struggles to preserve Israeli democracy and an upsurge in anti-Semitism worldwide. Jeremy invited viewers to discuss and debate the best leadership candidates for the Jewish people and the State of Israel during these dramatic times.

We will ceremonially change the Torah mantels to white\, reflect on the trying year it has been\, and ready ourselves\, with renewed spiritual courage\, to welcome the year 5787. \n  \n\nRabbi Lawrence A. Englander is the founding Rabbi of Solel Congregation\, Mississauga\, serving there since its inception in 1973 until his retirement in June 2014; he now serves Solel as Rabbi Emeritus.  He is also Adjunct Rabbi at Temple Sinai in Toronto. \nRabbi Englander received his Doctorate of Hebrew Letters from Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion in the field of Jewish Mysticism and Rabbinics.  He has taught in the Religious Studies Department at York University and spent a semester teaching rabbinical students at Leo Baeck College in London\, England.  He has written several articles on Jewish Mysticism\, as well as a book\, The Mystical Study of Ruth\, published by Scholars Press.  He is a former Editor of the Central Conference of American Rabbis Journal. \nAnother passion of Rabbi Englander’s is liberal Zionism\, a subject on which he has written and edited articles.  He served as Chair of ARZENU\, a world-wide progressive Zionist organization\, from 2014 to 2017.  He is co-editor (with Rabbi Stanley Davids) of the book Fragile Dialogue: New Voices in Liberal Zionism\, published by CCAR Press.  He is also on the International Council of the New Israel Fund. \nIn 2005\, he was appointed as a Member of the Order of Canada for his work in the community. \nHe has also published a novel\, The Prince of Healers\, a historical fiction based on the life of Rabbi Moses Maimonides. \nRabbi Englander and his wife Cheryl are natives of Toronto\, Canada. \nRabbi Mark Dov Shapiro z”l served Holy Blossom Temple from 1977-1982.  He is remembered by many with admiration and warm friendship.https://holyblossom.org/remembering-rabbi-mark-dov-shapiro-zl/. The majority of his rabbinate was in Springfield\, Massachusetts\, but he and his wife\, Marsha\, both native Torontonians\, always maintained close ties here. Rabbi Shapiro was especially devoted to interfaith relations\, social justice\, pastoral care\, and lifelong learning. He strengthened the Reform Movement by serving on many committees and writing publications for the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union of Reform Judaism. Most of all\, Rabbi Shapiro is forever cherished for his constant warmth and kindness. Family and friends\, colleagues and congregants have given generously to establish an annual lecture in Rabbi Shapiro’s name. We dedicate this learning to his memory.
