Being a Jew: By Conversion or By Birth with Rabbi Michael Safra
Thursday, October 28, 2021 • 22 Cheshvan 5782
7:30 PM - 9:00 PMZoom
What does it mean to be born as a Jewish person? What does it mean to become a Jew by joining the Jewish people through conversion? How have the Jewish people demonstrated their commitments to their Jewish identity, and what happens when other aspects present a conflict? Rabbi Safra will facilitate a conversation about how these questions might be answered today, and what they have meant for the Jewish people for millennia.
Part of the Jewish Learning and Living Series, presented by the Workshops Task Force of the Adult Education Committee.
This event will be held via Zoom.
