SUMMARY:TBS Presents: Songs of Love and Devotion
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Cantor DJ Fortine and pianist Lois Shapiro have teamed up with Francine Trester\, one of Berklee College of Music’s Professors of Composition\, to set meaningful Jewish texts to music. These original compositions — vocal duets and quartets which Temple Beth Shalom has formally commissioned — are celebrations of love\, devotion\, and enduring commitment\, based on texts from Song of Songs\, the Book of Ruth\, and poetry by Rabbi Rami Shapiro. This 60-minute concert — featuring Cantor DJ\, Alli Aaron\, Betty Bauman\, and Elijah Botkin — will also showcase an eclectic mix of love songs from genres ranging from contemporary musical theater to lieder from composers including Gustav Mahler and Clara Schumann. This February performance and its repertoire is dedicated to the love\, devotion\, and enduring commitment of our TBS community\, and is just one way to join our ongoing celebration of TBS’s 70-year anniversary! \nSuggested donation: $18 \nRegister: t-b-s.me/songsoflove

SUMMARY:God\, Torah\, Israel: An Exploration of Judaism's Foundational Principles
DESCRIPTION:Jewish tradition teaches that the three major pillars of Judaism are God\, Torah\, and Israel. While Jews understand and connect to each of these principles differently\, they nonetheless encompass that totality of Judaism as a tradition of religion/spirituality\, sacred text\, and community/peoplehood. Join us as we consider the various meanings of each and how we might relate to them today. Led by Rabbi Sonsino.\nRegister: https://t-b-s.me/principles

SUMMARY:Israel - The Generational Divide: A Course for Parents Struggling to Understand Their Children's Perspectives on Israel
DESCRIPTION:Register: t-b-s.me/generationaldivide \nThe crisis in Israel has caused divides within and beyond the Jewish community. We have heard so many stories of families at odds with each other over Israel\, family members who are unable or unwilling to communicate with each other. This course is specifically for parents who are wrestling with their college-age children’s views on Israel. We are hoping to bring parents together to learn and think together about Israel and about family. The course will be a mix of various types of learning. We will be looking at different perspectives on Israel\, including that part of the Jewish community which questions Israel\, not with the eye to tear down but to try to critically understand this worldview. While primarily designed for parents\, other adults with college-age or older high school students in their lives (e.g.\, grandparents and other caregivers) are also welcome to participate. \nCo-Sponsored by Hebrew College and Temple Beth Shalom\, Needham \nCost: Free to Temple Beth Shalom Members \nLocation: In-person at Temple Beth Shalom \nFor more information\, view the flyer or contact adultlearning@hebrewcollege.edu
