Exceptional Jewish learning:
Rabbi Michael Singer says that teaching is one of his favorite things, and it shows in the fascinating classes he leads and brings to your level, whether you are a newbie or a Torah scholar.

Letters from the Rabbi's Desk

Purim: A Lesson in Transforming Hard Memories into Meaningful Purpose

When we think deeply about the story of Purim it is hard not to be confronted by Jewish history with its memories of antisemitism persecutions, blood libels, pogroms, and the Shoah. Throughout our history we all too often celebrated this holiday while living in the midst of the viciousness and dehumanization of antisemitism.  Once again we are in the midst of a tidal wave of hate. A denial of our history, our right to live and worship in peace, and the scapegoats of twisted conspiracies and libels. Yet, when we look at the last chapter of Megillat Esther we uncover a secret to Jewish resilience. Instead of merely celebrating the downfall of our enemies (which is certainly there) we also find a means to transform our pain and suffering into the lessening of others pain and suffering. In essence the secret is: taking our collective experience (our memories), internalizing them into a wellspring of empathy for others, and then working hard for a better future.

We welcome you to join us for a Shabbat morning or holiday service, stay for Kiddush, and meet the members of our congregation. You do not have to be a member to come and experience a service at Brith Sholom.
