B’nai Israel Saturday, Nov. 23 7:30 pm Sandler Family Campus
B’nai Israel Congregation’s Ann Zukerman Memorial Scholar-in-Residence weekend will feature Rabbi Ken Spiro.
Rabbi Spiro is a senior lecturer and researcher for Aish HaTorah, Jerusalem and a licensed tour guide for the Israel Ministry of Tourism. He is known for his quick-paced, humorous style and his discussions of the world through a Jewish historical perspective.
Co-hosted by the Konikoff Center for Learning of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Rabbi Spiro will deliver his renowned lecture, World Perfect, at the Reba and Sam Sandler Family Campus. This presentation explores 4,000 years of history through the lens of Jewish impact on the world. Rabbi Spiro’s engaging talk will uncover the mission of the Jewish people as a “Light to the nations” and promises to offer new insights into the significance of Judaism throughout history.
The weekend also features three sessions at B’nai Israel Congregation: Friday night Oneg with Back to the Future, Shabbat afternoon with The Jewish Conception of the Messiah, and Shalosh Seudos after Mincha with Why the Jews?
