fighting brigade of Jewish outcasts. Based on the character of Fishke der
Krumer (Fishke the Lame) created by the great Hebrew and Yiddish writer Mendele
Mocher Sforim, the hero struggles against both a divided Jewish community and
his Russian military masters, setting up a metaphor for the Jewish
people’s relationship with each other and the rest of the world, then and
now. “King of Beggars” asks whether a new Jewish identity —
one of a free people who believe in peace and coexistence — is

Sacred Garment: Women and Tefilin
Tefilin are called in our holy sources, a sign,
“ot.” Even though the Torah exempted women from wearing them, there
is no prohibition against it. The Talmud says that if women wish to put on
tefilin, we should not stand in their way. Moreover, the women are rewarded for
it. What are Tefilin? May women wear Tefilin? What is prayer? Can Tefilin help
us to pray? How can Tefilin contribute to our spiritual practice? Come! Learn
and experience how Tefilin can help you to connect heart, mind and soul to
divine energy. The class is taught by Ori
