Rabbi Levin’s Classes

What Do Jews Believe?

  Monthly on Thursdays
  12:00-1:00 p.m. 

Conveying the belief that “One way we can successfully sustain and transmit a vital Jewish identity is by articulating what we as Jews believe,” Rabbi Mordechai Levin will present a new monthly class, “What Do Jews Believe?” beginning Thursday, November 3, from noon to 1 p.m. During this course, participants will discuss God, worship and prayer, Torah and mitzvot, sin and repentance, plus reward and punishment, among other topics. In addition, questions to be examined will include ‘Does belief in God make a difference in our life?’ ‘Why pray?’ ‘Do the Torah’s origins matter?’ ‘Is being ‘chosen’ compatible with multi-culturalism?’ ‘Are we rewarded and punished for our behavior?’ ‘Is there an afterlife?’

Upcoming classes are scheduled for:
