Fall Shabbaton | Scholar in Residence
6:15 p.m. Simhah Shabbat in the Sanctuary!
Our outdoor summer Plaza Prayer moves inside for the fall and becomes “Simhah Shabbat.” We’ll enjoy a spirited service accompanied on guitar by Craig Parks who joins David Lipsitz and our rabbis for an upbeat Kabbalat Shabbat service. During our service, we’ll celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and happy occasions!
7:00 p.m. Shabbat Dinner
Following Simhah Shabbat we’ll enjoy a Shabbat Dinner buffet and each other’s company. Adults and children, families and friends are all welcome.
Cost: $25 per adult, $15 kids 5-12, no charge for Kids 4 & under.
7:45 p.m. Seeking the Hiding God with Dr. Arnold Eisen
Following dinner, those wishing to learn our Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Arnold Eisen, will gather for the first of three weekend sessions.
Dr. Eisen acknowledges that there is little we can know about God’s nature; his focus is on the search for the “hiding God,” the meaning of fleeting encounters with the Creator, and the acts of justice and compassion that human beings are called to perform as partners of God.
The book invites readers to join the author in asking, perhaps for the first time, what they actually believe about ultimate matters of faith and doubt—and rewards fellow searchers for ultimate meaning with reassurance that the search itself can be a source of personal fulfillment, vibrant community, and great joy.
