Days of Awe 5781
Talking B’Yachad: Conversations for the Days of Awe
The Days of Awe are ones on which we examine not only our own lives but also the life of our community, both Jewish and secular. On Monday through Thursday and again on Saturday night between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we will be posting stimulating conversations conducted by Rabbi Freedman with both lay and religious leaders on issues which touch on the issues of the day.
Most of these conversations are recorded and you may watch them anytime after they are posted. Wednesday's conversation about Israel will be a live event on Zoom.
We invite you to listen in, respond after viewing with questions or comments by email to Rabbi Freedman and to allow these conversations to stimulate conversation of your own.
