Co-sponsored by the Westchester Jewish Council and the Westchester Board of Rabbis, with support from UJA-Federation of New York, the event allows participants to attend two 45-minute workshops chosen from more than 30 topics covering Jewish thought, text, philosophy, spirituality, sports, culture, life and love.
Following the workshop participants will socialize at a grand celebration, including a delicious dairy dessert and musical entertainment by Rabbi Andrew Bossov. Attendance is expected to be over 500.
“The rabbis have put together a truly wonderful and varied range of topics, so everyone should be able to find something of interest,” said Elliot Forchheimer, executive director of the Westchester Jewish Council.
All adult learners are welcome and encouraged to attend. Everyone, regardless of background, practice, affiliation or age, is welcome, Forcheimer added.
Workshops include “Super Jews, from the X-Men to the Fantastic Four: How Judaism, Jewish values, and Jewish Texts Have Influenced the Comic Book Industry”, “Can You Say Kiddish over Beer Instead of Wine?”,,“ Israel, Iran, and Holocaust Denial” and more.
