SUMMER ISRAEL SERIES WITH PROFESSOR PAUL LIPTZ

Welcome to our Summer Israel Series with Professor Paul Liptz! There will be three live sessions at 1 pm with Paul Liptz, and three sessions of the replay that same evening at 7 pm with live Q&A from our Temple Beth Shalom rabbis. Why the replays you ask? Professor Liptz will be in Israel this summer, so he can't be live with us in the States at night. We are excited to be able to offer more times so that this programming is accessible to more learners! You are welcome to join us for 1, 2, or all 3 sessions. Here is the schedule:

June 8th - 1 pm live, replay at 7 pm with our rabbis
