Place : Temple Beth El 350 Roxbury Road Stamford, CT 06902

You are invited to join Rabbi Knopf when he teaches his first adult education class at TBE on Saturday, August 17, at 12:30 pm. The topic for discussion will be “From Despair to Hope: Exploring the Seven Haftarot of Consolation.”

These seven haftarot are read on consecutive Shabbat mornings beginning with Shabbat Nachamu on August 17 and leading up to the start of Rosh Hashanah.

Learn from Rabbi Knopf why these haftarot are so special and the messages they convey of hope and resilience in living Jewish lives in today’s world and in preparing ourselves for the High Holy Days.

Need to take a breather, refocus, and regain your spiritual bearings for the week to come? Come early and join Rabbi Knopf and Cantor Kaplan for our Shabbat service beginning at 10 am. A kiddush lunch will be served after the service and before the class.

All backgrounds welcome. No prior knowledge necessary.

Registration is required.
