SUMMARY:Judaism Confronting Science
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Phil Cohen. Dr. Jonathan Crane\, Geoffery Mitelman\n\nFor centuries Judaism understood science to be a partner. Jewish thinkers did not see a contradiction between science and Torah. It is Norbert Samuelson’s contention in his book Jewish Faith and Modern Science that\, for various historical and philosophical reasons\, that synthesis has been left behind. He further argues that Jews need to reconceive that synthesis for the future. In this session three Reform rabbis will discuss Samuelson’s thesis. Their discussion will come from Samuelson’s book\, as well as from the work they did in their contributions to the recently published edition of the CCAR Journal (Winter 2012)\, devoted to the topic of Judaism and science. This session will provide participants with the opportunity to engage in this important intellectual and spiritual issue. Are the demands of science so important as to threaten the integrity of the Jewish tradition if an acceptable intellectual approach is not found?

SUMMARY:Ahad Ha'Am and the Reform Movement: On the Prospects for Modern Judaism (Taught in Hebrew)
DESCRIPTION:Michael Marmur\n\nIn this session\, to be taught in Hebrew\, we will consider some aspects of Ahad Ha’am’s complex relationship with Reform Judaism\, focusing in particular on a fascinating and little-known exchange between the father of cultural Zionism\, Ahad Ha’am (Asher Ginsberg\, 1856-1927) and David Neumark (1866-1924)\, a professor of philosophy at the Hebrew Union College. At stake is the question of whether a modern Judaism incorporating both national and credal dimensions is possible.

SUMMARY:The Yom Kippur Afternoon Experience: More Than Waiting to Eat
DESCRIPTION:Leon Morris and Eddie Goldberg with Janet Marder\, Shelly Marder\, Elaine Zecher and Peter Berg\n\n\nThrough the years\, many congregations have taken the opportunity to use creative endeavors at this point in the day\, such as healing services\, poetry readings\, and musical interludes. Other congregations have chosen to harken back to the Avodah service\, which others are trying to figure out what to do. We’ve explored these questions and look forward to a robust discussion and sharing of experiences and ideas about how to plan for this pinnacle moment of the Yom Kippur experience\, as we also offer a preview of our thoughts and direction vis-à-vis the new machzor.

SUMMARY:Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team
DESCRIPTION:Russ Sabia \n \nFor all the talk about the importance of teamwork by leaders\, it is largely untapped and unrealized in most organizations. \nMany organizations – filled with talented\, committed people – struggle to fulfill their full promise and find themselves bogged down by excessive interpersonal politics and confusion about what is really important. As a result\, things take much longer to get done\, results are much harder to accomplish\, and real dollar costs increase. \nAt its root\, this problem most often stems from leadership teams that lack cohesion and alignment\, and that fall victim to one or more of the Five Dysfunctions of Teams. \nIn this session\, learn about the five most common and destructive pitfalls of leadership teams\, and how trust\, conflict\, commitment\, and accountability all impact results. Discover practical and proven strategies to overcome these common dysfunctions and explore how leadership teams can become more effective by minimizing the politics\, confusion\, and unproductive behavior that prevent so many organizations from realizing their potential. \nJoin Russ Sabia\, Principal Consultant at The Table Group\, for this engaging discussion based on Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book\, The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.
