SUMMARY:What We Can Learn From Hasidic Religious Practice: Hasidic Niggun and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nehemiah Polen \nThe world of Hasidism is famous for its musically creative and emotionally powerful niggunim. This session will explore how this rich legacy of niggun assists in the formation of one’s inner self and the cultivation of one’s spiritual development. We will listen to and learn from niggunim and also study Hasidic texts that view niggun as the true exploration of spirituality in a way that affirms its richness\, diversity\, and unity. Texts will be in Hebrew and English.

SUMMARY:Israel in Context: What Zionist Thinkers Say to Us Today
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Aaron Panken \nZionism faces numerous challenges in the contemporary American Reform context. Recent articles even claim that American rabbinical students are beginning to exhibit less connection to the Jewish State\, let alone our lay leaders. Dual loyalties\, dual states and dueling theologies are just a few of the many complications that confront those who turn their minds to this important issue. Through reading a series of early and more recent Zionist thinkers\, we will begin to address the question of where Israel fits as a component of American Reform Jewish identity\, and consider what we might do in coming years to address the challenges of contemporary Zionism in our congregations and communities. Texts will be in Hebrew and English\, with translations available where necessary.

SUMMARY:Defanging the Birkat HaMinim (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ruth Langer\nA continuation of the morning session.\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.
