The New and Improved TIKKUN Is Coming…..
Saturday May 30
One of CBTs traditions is to observe Shavuot by holding a
Tikkun, which among other things is an opportunity for our members to share
their knowledge or unique experiences with other members.
The Tikkun is typically held in a member’s home and includes a meal and
Havdalah. Although we are still
firming up our speakers, tentative topics include:
- The Torah Code – a discussion of the so-called “coded” messages in the Torah than contain information about people and predictions of future events.
- Short story discussion
- Depiction of Jews in TV and Film?
- Review of member Diane Ashton’s book, Four Centuries of Jewish Women’s Spirituality
As part of its community outreach program, CBT's Book Group is meeting monthly at Barnes and Noble on Route 70 in Marlton at 7:30 p.m. Titles for the Jewish Characters and Authors Book Group are selected by the Adult Education Committee and discussions are led by members of the Committee. Books for the remainder of the year are:
April 1, People of the Book, by Geraldine Brook, discussion leader Rabbi Gans
May 6, Centaur in the Garden, by Moacyr Scliar, discussion led by Diane Ashton
June 10, Two Lives by Vikram Seth (tentative)
Sunday Morning
Breakfast With the Rabbi
On five separate Sunday mornings, Rabbi Gans selects a contemporary article of political, religious, or social significance for us to read and discuss. No advance preparation is required. Copies of the short articles are available for attendees to read while we drink our morning coffee and munch on bagels, fruit, and other breakfast goodies. Dates for the remainder of the year are March 1, 2009, May 3, 2009 and June 3, 2009. Start time is 9:30 a.m.
Current Events Discussion Group
Meets on the first Monday of every month at 8:00 PM at CBT. We hope all our old Conservatives, Liberals, Conspiracy Theorists, and Skeptics will show up along with a host of new people with new perspectives. So come join us and add your 2¢ to the discussion.
