The Christian Jewish Council of Greater Charleston, SC will sponsor a timely and provocative program before our nation's presidential election. Historically, religion has been an issue of consideration for electing presidential candidates and other officials. We have assembled an interesting panel of thought leaders who will address various issues, past and present, which have the potential to impact voter opinions in the upcoming and future elections.
  
Panel Moderator:Rabbi Anthony Holz
Panel members:Father Jeffrey Kirby, Rabbi Ari Sytner, Reverend Joseph Darby and Robert New.
 
The Christian Jewish Council of Greater Charleston is an organization that seeks to build bridges of understanding to promote sensitivity, tolerance, respect and fellowship among faith groups.

BSBI Logo A College of Charleston lecture series featuring our very own Rabbi Sytner!
7:00 - 8:15 pm in Rabbi Hirsch Levin Library, College of Charleston Jewish Studies Center

Female influence is important, but sometimes unnoticed, in the Talmud. Thuis course will examine Talmudic texts and commentary in a search of lesser known women who have had a significant impact on Jewish experience. Though often overlooked, women are perhaps the most influential factor in Jewish survival and continuity.

Tuesday, Nov. 25th:Keeping the Flame Alive
