Join us for a meaningful six-part learning experience, Jewish Answers to Life’s Most Challenging Questions, taught by Deborah Niederman, RJE.
Together, we will explore some of life’s biggest and most personal questions – Why do good people suffer? Is everything pre-ordained? Can we expect miracles? Drawing on the wisdom of rabbinic tradition and modern thought, this course invites open conversation, reflection, and discovery.
Temple Shalom is proud to partner with the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning to launch a new Temple Shalom Melton Community. This course marks the beginning of an ongoing series, with plans to offer two to three courses each year.
Through engaging discussion and diverse perspectives, we will examine these timeless questions through the voices of rabbinic sages, modern thinkers, and our own lived experiences.
Come learn, question, and connect as we explore what these ideas mean in our lives today.
