She will also give a talk titled "The Life and Legacy of Abraham Joshua Heschel: Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity" at Ohavay Zion Synagogue 2048 Edgewater Ct. Lexington, KY 40502 Wednesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. Details inside for Passover, Yom HaShoah & Yom Ha’Atzmaut Office will be open by appointment only from 3/30-4/3 FROM THE RABBI Passover is fast approaching, and soon after it… the Moosnick Lecture Series. On this holiday of freedom, we remember our liberation from bondage in Egypt, and we pray for the redemption of our world. We take note that there are still those in our world who consider other human beings, made in the image of God, as lesser than they simply because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. We realize that there is still hatred. There is still oppression. There is still slavery in our world. And we long for freedom for all humanity. One of those who worked for freedom in the civil rights movement in the United States was Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. His daughter, Susannah Heschel, an incredible scholar in her own right, wrote: I was a child in 1965, but I remember vividly when my father left our home in New York City to take part in the Selma march.

The Friendly Visitor Passover Seder is made possible through the generosity of the George and Beatrice Sherman Family Charitable Trust. There’s really no one right way to do Passover; It is all about exploring the story, asking questions and sharing the experience with others. В действительности не существует единого, правильного способа проведения Пасхального Седера – праздника, во время которого изучается история, задаются вопросы и происходит обмен опытом между участниками.

We will eat a great meal together and tell the story of our ancestors’ liberation from slavery. We welcome our friends from other backgrounds to reflect with us on the meaning of freedom in all our lives and histories. We will consider the blessings in our lives, pledge to work harder at freeing those who still suffer, and begin to cast off the things in our own lives that oppress us.

She will examine the topics and methods of Jewish historians and theologians with particular attention to their description of Judaism’s role within Western civilization. Narratives of Islamic origins and specialized studies comparing the Qur’an with rabbinic texts parallel Jewish historiography on Christianity, and both contain implicit political connotations. The growth of German imperialism and colonialism brought about shifts in the study of religion, and the role of Jews in those projects. Prof. Heschel concludes that Jews created a unique European orientalism that reflects not only their fascination with Islam, but also gives us a nuanced window into Jewish ambivalence toward their projects of assimilation, emancipation, and the creation of a modern Jewish identity. Susannah Heschel is the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and the author of numerous books and articles, including Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus, and The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany.
