SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Inspiring Jewish Life on Campus Today
DESCRIPTION:Join Rabbi Emmanuel Cantor of the Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale for a lunch and learn. \nTogether we will explore what it means to empower the next generation of Jewish leaders on campus today. Rabbi Emmanuel will lead us in an interactive Torah study to frame and deepen the questions currently shaping Jewish life on campus\, followed by time for open conversation. \nRSVPs requested\, see below.  \n\nAbout Rabbi Cantor \nRabbi Emmanuel Cantor serves as Assistant Campus Rabbi at the Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale—the very community that inspired him to become a rabbi as an undergraduate. He is grateful to honor that legacy by championing today’s students as they shape the future of Jewish cultural\, religious\, and intellectual life at Yale and beyond. \nRabbi Emmanuel’s Jewish journey reflects the pluralism of Yale’s Jewish community. Raised in a Conservative synagogue\, he studied at an Orthodox day school and an Israeli yeshiva\, and served as a student rabbi in both Reform and Reconstructionist communities. His path has taken him from leading a rural synagogue in Vermont to supporting post-college young adults in urban Washington\, D.C. Before attending rabbinical school\, Rabbi Emmanuel worked as a community organizer for Jews United for Justice. He holds a BA from Yale University and received ordination from the Rabbinical School at Hebrew College\, where he was a Wexner Graduate Fellow.

SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Can’t make it to Cocktails & Conversation? We’ve got you! Join Rabbi Shira on select weekday mornings to learn\, enjoy breakfast\, and build community connections. \n\nPirkei Avot: Ancient Wisdom for a Good Life \nPirkei Avot (the Ethics of our Ancestors) is one of the most beloved collections of Jewish wisdom: a book of short\, powerful teachings about how to live with integrity\, humility\, courage\, generosity\, and joy. In this class\, Rabbi Shira will guide us through some of Pirkei Avot’s most meaningful passages\, exploring what these ancient rabbis understood about friendship\, community\, conflict\, responsibility\, and the lifelong work of becoming a better human being. \nNo Hebrew or prior text study experience is necessary — just curiosity\, openness\, and a willingness to ask what these teachings might have to say to our actual lives today.

SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversation with Rabbi Elie Kaunfer
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday at 4:45 pm for food\, drink\, and a fun\, substantive\, and reflective conversation. This session will be led by Rabbi Elie Kaunfer of the Hadar Institute. Stay after for Shabbat services. \nIsrael as the Chosen People – What Might this Mean? \nA core concept in Judaism is that God chose the Jewish people. It appears throughout our major prayers. But what does that mean? How might we understand this theological concept in a modern context and consistent with other core values? Together we will explore this concept through text and conversation.

SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Can’t make it to Cocktails & Conversation? We’ve got you! Join Rabbi Shira on select weekday mornings to learn\, enjoy breakfast\, and build community connections. \n\nPirkei Avot: Ancient Wisdom for a Good Life \nPirkei Avot (the Ethics of our Ancestors) is one of the most beloved collections of Jewish wisdom: a book of short\, powerful teachings about how to live with integrity\, humility\, courage\, generosity\, and joy. In this class\, Rabbi Shira will guide us through some of Pirkei Avot’s most meaningful passages\, exploring what these ancient rabbis understood about friendship\, community\, conflict\, responsibility\, and the lifelong work of becoming a better human being. \nNo Hebrew or prior text study experience is necessary — just curiosity\, openness\, and a willingness to ask what these teachings might have to say to our actual lives today.

SUMMARY:In the Arena: Jewish Identity in Public Life
DESCRIPTION:Featuring comedians Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer \nWhat does it mean to make people laugh right now? Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer happen to be Jewish. While that’s not the entirety of their act\, it’s never not true. Both have built careers in the broad American comedy world\, and both are grappling with what it means to be visibly Jewish in that space in this particular moment. This conversation explores comedy\, identity\, and the strange necessity of laughter when the world feels like it’s a lot. \nModerated by: Jacques Berlinerblau\, author of “Can We Laugh at That? Comedy in a Conflicted Age”

SUMMARY:Comedy on Trial: Comedy\, Controversy\, and Free Speech
DESCRIPTION:Discussion Leader: Professor Jacques Berlinerblau\, author of “Can We Laugh at That?: Comedy in a Conflicted Age” \nControversies set off by comedians are increasingly commonplace in the United States and abroad. This year alone in the United States\, comedians such as Jimmy Kimmel\, Stephen Colbert\, Kevin Hart\, and Louis C.K have become the subject of national debates about the propriety of their jokes. The phenomenon is not limited to our country and is witnessed in France\, India\, the UK\, Israel\, Turkey\, China\, and more. \nIn this discussion\, we look at the rise of controversial comedy and ask ourselves why “mere” jokes have suddenly become the subject of such heated contention. Our inquiry leads us to related topics such as the primacy of social media\, the collapse of Free Speech law and the global dissemination of anti-Semitism.

SUMMARY:On the Curiosity Deficit\, and How We Might Find Our Way Back to One Another
DESCRIPTION:Discussion Leader: Rabbi Sharon Brous\, Founder and Senior Rabbi of IKAR \nIn a time of violent polarization\, healing may come\, paradoxically\, through the cultivation of curiosity. An exploration of a little-known Talmudic story awakens us to the way that a wonder— about ourselves\, the other\, the world—can birth deeper understanding and help us live with a greater sense of possibility.
