SUMMARY:Israel in Text: From the Land of Milk and Honey to Coercing Aliyah
DESCRIPTION: Dr. Aaron Panken\n\nBiblical and Rabbinic texts create a strong foundation for a longing for Zion that inspired later thinkers\, including influencing many early Zionists as they crafted a Jewish national ideology. In this session\, we will delve into a selection of core primary rabbinic sources that informed our people’s image of and connection with the Land of Israel\, with a special eye toward applicability to the contemporary American Reform Jewish scene. Texts will be in Hebrew\, with translations available.

SUMMARY:Defanging the Birkat HaMinim (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ruth Langer \n \nThe infamous twelfth benediction of the weekday amidah apparently cursed Christians explicitly in its early medieval forms and implicitly in its high European medieval forms. Christians were aware of this and censored the text\, most formally and widely from the 1550s on. This all day Beit Midrash session will examine the ways that Jews have interpreted this prayer\, paying particular attention to the ways that modern Jews have understood and adapted the text. \n

SUMMARY:What We Can Learn From Hasidic Religious Practice: Hasidic Prayer and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nehemiah Polen \nEarly Hasidic masters taught that prayer is an opportunity to focus on Divine unity and the dissolution of the ego. At the same time\, they practiced intercessory prayer and petitionary prayer. Our session will explore how the two modalities of quietistic and activist prayer coexisted and influenced each other. We will look at what we can learn from Hasidic teachers for our lives. Texts will be in Hebrew and English.
