Elul Reflections: Where are we going and how do we get there? With Rabbi Peter Stein, Temple B’rith Kodesh

Thursdays, August 10, 17, 24 & 31 *11 am – 12 pm: Erdle Lounge

The month of Elul is the final month of the year and is a time for spiritual preparation for the High Holy Days.  During these classes, we will look at several of the Rosh HaShana texts and consider their meaning in our lives today.
