Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism
2022-01-26 19:00 - 20:30
Taught by Rabbi Jacob Herber
Every other Wednesday ● 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ● via Zoom
Join Rabbi Herber for Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism, The Shalom Hartman Institute’s latest curricular project, which offers a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to philosophical ideas in Jewish peoplehood, practice, faith, and ethics. Within these four rubrics we will explore the following questions:
Peoplehood
Explores questions related to the collective experience of Jewish life: What does it mean to be part of the Jewish community? To what extent can communities hold diverse and shared values at the same time? What does Jewish Peoplehood mean today, when the centers of Jewish life, North America and Israel, are so different and independent from one another?
Faith
Explores questions related to what a relationship in God and a life of faith entails: Where does faith come from? What are the models in Jewish tradition for a complex relationship with God which includes reverence and joy, but also anger and argument? Where does doubt fit into a life of faith? Where do Jews who do not believe fit in?
Practice
Explores questions that are fundamental to Jewish practice: What is the system of mitzvot trying to accomplish? Why the need for ritual action beyond belief? How have Jewish thinkers conceived of the meaning of mitzvot in an age of radical human autonomy?
Ethics
Explores questions related to ethical obligation and decision-making: How has Jewish tradition conceived of what we owe other people? How might we approach ethical dilemmas which test our loyalties to values and to people?

Pop-Up Blood Donor Center at HNT
2022-01-31 10:00 - 17:00 | Feinberg Social Hall
In Memory of Ellen Yusim z”l
Monday, January 31 & Tuesday, February 1
HNT’s Annual Blood Drive – which is a two-day pop-up this year – honors the memory and last wish of Ellen Yusim z”l, a teenage congregant whose family was sponsored by our synagogue when they resettled in Seattle from the former Soviet Union. Ellen succumbed to leukemia at age 16 and it was her final request to have an annual blood drive to help others in need of transfusions.
She understood how her very life depended on donors and wished that gift to be carried forward in her name. We are partnering with SJCC and The First Night Project, in honor of Ellen Yusim z”l, Harry McGovern, and others who have lost their lives or are still battling childhood cancer.
Donating blood is an essential and encouraged activity critical to sustaining community healthcare by providing a stable blood supply to patients at area hospitals. This one-hour donation appointment is a safe and essential action. Additionally, no walk-ins, guests, or people under age 16 are permitted onsite. Book your appointment at https://schedule.bloodworksnw.org/DonorPortal/GroupLanding.aspx?s=8069.
