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 5786. \nFor those joining us online in sacred worship\, both the study and service will be streamed on our livestream page here: holyblossom.org/holy-blossom-temple-livestream/\nNote\, there will be a half-hour break for dessert between the two \n  \nMichael Marmur is Associate Professor of Jewish Theology at Hebrew Union College\, Jerusalem. Until July 2018\, he served as the Jack\, Joseph and Morton Mandel Provost at Hebrew Union College\, having previously been Dean of the Jerusalem campus. After some 20 years in administrative capacities\, he now concentrates his energies on teaching and writing. Born and raised in England and educated at the University of Oxford\, Michael made aliyah to Israel in 1984. While studying for an M.A. in Ancient Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, he completed his studies in the Israel Rabbinic Program of Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem\, and was ordained in 1992. For six years following his ordination\, he worked as rabbi and teacher at the Leo Baeck Education Center in Haifa. Michael Marmur served for three years as Chair of the Board of Rabbis for Human Rights. Known as a masterful teacher\, like his father before him\, Professor Marmur has lectured and taught courses in several countries around the world.  He is the author of many books\, including his most recent\, “Living the Letters:  An Alphabet of Emerging Jewish Thought.” \n“Living the Letters:  An Alphabet of Emerging Jewish Thought”\nIn this work\, Michael Marmur employs the structure of the Hebrew alphabet to set out elements of an emerging Jewish theology\, presenting a case for the urgent relevance of Jewish life at a time of deepening rupture and accelerating change. He presents core components of a theory and practice of contemporary Judaism. The Hebrew alphabet has long beguiled and preoccupied Biblical authors and liturgical poets\, rationalists and mystics\, conservatives and radicals. It has served as a locus of theological speculation\, an engine of creativity and a recurrent motif throughout the cycle of life\, from childhood instruction to graveside recitation. For each letter of the Hebrew alphabet\, Marmur proposes a concept\, gleaned from theology\, philosophy\, ritual\, politics\, community and other fields. Readers are invited to combine and deploy them in imagining a Judaism of tomorrow. \nInterview about the book here:\nhttps://huc.edu/news/people-of-the-book-faculty-michael-marmur-uses-the-alphabet-to-ponder-questions-of-contemporary-jewish-life/ \nAvailable for purchase here:\nhttps://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/living-the-letters-an-alphabet-of-emerging-jewish-thought/9783031810404.html

SUMMARY:Young Professionals Allyship Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Young Professionals Allyship Shabbat\nFriday\, September 12\, 6:00 pm \n  \nWelcoming Others to Our Table \nThere’s a saying: better to build a longer table than a higher wall. We’ll do just that on Friday\, September 12 at our Young Professionals Allyship Shabbat. This evening is about extending the table and welcoming friends who aren’t Jewish to share in the beauty and rhythm of Shabbat. Bring a colleague\, partner\, or neighbour to experience the joy of Jewish tradition in good company. \nWe are especially delighted to welcome our friends from Timothy Eaton Memorial Church\, with Rev. Dayle Barrett and young professionals from his community joining us for this special night of food\, friendship\, and sacred time. \nWhether it’s your guest’s first time seeing Shabbat candles lit or their hundredth time asking\, “What exactly is challah?”\, this is a chance to celebrate what it means to be good neighbours and better allies. \nOur Shabbat dinner will be a vegetarian pasta feast. If dietary restrictions are noted in advance\, accommodations will be available. \nRegister here! \n  \nYAD: Next Gen Programming is generously sponsored in part by Cheryl & David Blinick and Family

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.
