Please join us this Sunday, November 8 at 9:00 AM at the Rector's Forum on Living Religions. Rabbi Mark Miller from Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township will be our speaker. This week's topic of discussion is "An Insider's View of Judaism." We live, as the saying goes, in interesting times. Religion, once considered a spent force in society, continues to figure in world events as a source of conflict and compassion, of violence and peace, of wounding and healing.
Therefore, it is imperative for people of faith to know whereof they speak when asked to give an account of what they believe in relation to the other beliefs and believers around them. There was a time when people needed to travel a great distance to encounter another faith tradition. Now, religious differences begin the moment we leave our front door.
In this course, we provide an overview of the world's major religions. The perspective we take is look for the overlaps that exist between the major religions of the world as well as their different claims about God and humanity. "Rabbi Miller began his tenure as Temple Beth El's Senior Rabbi in March of 2014. Since arriving, he has brought a renewed sense of purpose and vision to our Temple, guided by his passion for Israel, commitment to social justice, and belief that Judaism's 4,000 years of wisdom is a gift that enables us to lead more meaningful lives" from Temple Beth El's website. |
