Friday-Saturday, March 5-6
Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Robert Dobrusin
Welcome Rabbi Robert Dobrusin, currently on sabbatical from Beth Israel in Ann Arbor, as our Scholar-in-Residence for this stimulating weekend. Rabbi Dobrusin will join us for Kabbalat Shabbat services and a congregational dinner on Friday evening. Following dinner, he will share stories from his upcoming book, which chronicles childhood memories that inspired some of his favorite sermons. Cost for dinner is $10/adult; $6/child 11 and younger; free for children 3 and younger.
On Saturday, Rabbi Dobrusin will deliver the d’var Torah and lead us in study at a Lunch & Learn that follows. The topic is “Finding Faith During Darkest Times” Lessons from Shushan and Egypt.” We’ll discuss some fascinating midrashim from the Purim and Pesach stories, how faith played a role in these critical stories, and how they hold meaning for us today. Cost for lunch is $12/adult. Call the synagogue office for reservations for these events.
