SUMMARY:For Families: Three Charosets Tell One Story
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of April 5th\, Jews worldwide will be gathering for a seder to celebrate Passover (Pesach)\, the Holiday of Freedom. The ingredients that make up the charoset on the seder table tell the story of the local region\, but the charoset itself tells the story of a journey to our Jewish freedom. Come make 3 versions of charoset from different parts of the world with Yanira and learn more about where they originated from.

SUMMARY:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy
DESCRIPTION:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy\nJoin Rabbi Jay Stein and Reverend Gareth Evans as they discuss the story of Jacob wrestling with a man or an angel. Have you ever wondered what our faith teaches us about angels? Both Christianity and Judaism have a belief in intermediary forces called angels. This session will explore what our faiths say about the role they play in this story and the implications for our own lives. \nProject Genesis: The same story can have multiple meanings. The books of the Old Testament in particular are ripe with symbol\, metaphor\, and character\, providing the reader with the opportunity to unpack and analyze the meanings. In Project Genesis\, we will discuss different interpretations of some of the beloved stories we learned as children and now revisit as adults.

SUMMARY:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy
DESCRIPTION:Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy\nSibling rivalry can be incredibly complicated- Joseph’s story \nThere is more to the Joseph story than Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It certainly doesn’t begin or end there. If we hadn’t gotten the message about the real-life dangers of sibling rivalry from earlier Genesis stories\, this one makes it all too painfully clear on what happens when a parent prefers one child over another. \nProject Genesis: The same story can have multiple meanings. The books of the Old Testament in particular are ripe with symbol\, metaphor\, and character\, providing the reader with the opportunity to unpack and analyze the meanings. In Project Genesis\, we will discuss different interpretations of some of the beloved stories we learned as children and now revisit as adults.
