Rockdale Temple joins fellow Cincinnati Reform, Conservative and Humanistic congregations in presenting The Z Word, a progressive exploration of Zionism and Jewish Peoplehood. This adult education series will explore the role Zionism plays in our lives and Jewish identities.
Learn from the senior rabbis of each of the participating congregations, each of whom will teach on a Zionism topic about which they are passionate. Hear from diverse rabbinic voices that will both affirm a commitment to liberal Zionism and welcome questions and conversation. Our congregants are encouraged to participate in as many sessions as possible and explore this topic with a variety of community leaders.
Rockdale Temple will host Rabbi Kopnick of Valley Temple on November 5th; Rabbi Kahan will teach at Adath Israel Congregation on November 19th. Questions? Contact Rabbi Kahan! Free with registration!
