This Thursday, February 4 at 7:30 pm, join us for the Annual Lucy S. Dawidowicz Lecture: Are Pit Bulls Dangerous? Reflecting on Rabbinic Constructions of Risk with Beth Berkowitz, PhD... In this year's lecture, Prof. Beth Berkowitz, Professor and Ingeborg Rennert Chair of Jewish Studies at Barnard College, will explore the interaction of Jewish thought and animality, and illuminate what complex and evolving attitudes towards animals can teach us about ourselves. She will highlight rabbinic notions of dangerous animals and accompanying risk that reflect varying approaches to the world around us. #lucylecture #conservativesynagogue #uessynagogue #egalitariansynagogue #barnardcollege #jewishlearning http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp

Join us as we hold a ZOOM-based seven species tasting that will highlight unique Israeli products. Reserve your basket of plenty that features delicacies made from: dates, figs, olives, wheat, barley, pomegranate, and grapes. They will all come packaged and prepared in a way you may or may not expect! Baskets will include a a bottle of grape juice. For $18/bottle, you can order wine from the Jezreel Valley Winery, an Israeli Boutique Winery. Add to your celebration by adding wine! (Remember, grape vines are considered trees, too, despite the special blessing we say over wine or grape juice itself!) Baskets will be available for pick-up at Or Zarua; hours to be announced. Out-of-town members may opt for shipping at an extra charge (please note that we are not able to ship wine). Get ready for an interactive night of celebrating Tu B'Shevat, tasting the seven species and socializing with friends on-line! #jewishlearning #tubshevat #shivathaminim #uessynagogue #egalitariansynagogue #conservativesynagogue http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp
