8:00 AM. Everyone is welcome to be a part of our exciting and musical minyan. Come and hear Rabbi Rosalind and the congregation in this wonderful service. At our Shabbat morning service, Rabbi Hale will present his thoughts about the portion of the week, Parashat Vayeshev.
Following services Rabbi Hale will present a talk titled: TORAH SLEUTH: IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF SACRED SCROLLS AND THE SCRIBAL ART.
Join us for an up-close and personal tour of our synagogue's seven torah scrolls, and of the many traditional tools, materials, rituals and methods used in the ancient scribal art. Prior to the presentation, Rabbi Hale will have taken the time to carefully examine all seven different scrolls for clues as to their history, origin, age and condition. He will come to us with many exciting findings, and use this information to outline the unique life story of each individual scroll. During this program, you will learn about differing scripts and styles of layout used by scribes, and hear Rabbi Hale’s expert insights on techniques and approaches to torah restoration.
