Virtual Selichot: Who is a Jew? Are different rules causing divisions among Jews?
Congregation Beth Tikvah and Temple Sinai will join together on Zoom for an evening of prayer,
singing, and discussion.
We will be introduced to the musical motifs
of the High Holidays, meditating on the words and melodies that transform us through this season of
repentence. We will also discuss the challenging issue of Jewish Status. In a recent article, Rabbi Emily Cohen shares how she, a patrilineal Jew, married her Jewish partner. She recounts the challenges and fallout caused for her rabbi, a Conservative rabbi, since the movement sees her marriage as an interfaith marriage. Different movements have different laws and practices around Jewish status. Without bias or
agenda, we will read Rabbi Cohen’s article, and honestly discuss these issues, their impact of us, our families, and our communities.
