Well-known author Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin returns for two programs, one with our sixth grade students and their parents followed by a lecture for adults entitled “Loving The Stranger.” You don’t have to be Jewish to be part of Jewish history – or the Bible. Rabbi Jeff Salkin takes us on a tour of the great gentile heroes of the Bible. This lecture is based on his book, Righteous Gentiles of the Hebrew Bible.
Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin is recognized as one of the most thoughtful Jewish writers and teachers of his generation. He has helped people find spiritual meaning in both the great and small moments in life. A noted writer whose work has appeared in Moment, Reform Judaism, Sh’ma, the Wall Street Journal, Reader’sDigest, and the Congressional Record, Rabbi Salkin is also the author of Putting God on the Guest List: Howto Reclaim the Spiritual Meaning of Your Child’s Bar orBat Mitzvah; For Kids—Putting God on Your Guest List:How to Claim the Spiritual Meaning of Your Bar or BatMitzvah; The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Memory Book: An Albumfor Treasuring the Spiritual Celebration (with Nina Salkin); and Being God’s Partner: How to Find the Hidden LinkBetween Spirituality and Your Work, with an introduction by Norman Lear (all Jewish Lights).
