AT PARDES LEVAVOT

SPECIAL NOTE:

Dear Hearts:

This year, the ALEPH Kallah returns to our region - it will be held July 2-8 in Albuquerque, NM. This is the international gathering which takes place every other year in a different part of the U.S. It attracts over 800 renewelers, including 100+ children. There's something for everyone. Incredible class offerings (including one being taught by Reb Victor & Reb Nadya), deep davenen, fun evening programs, and a most amazing Kids Kallah!

There are brochures at shul, or you can see it on the web at www.aleph.org/kallah.html. You can also
view the ALEPH Kallah FAQ.

Special discounts are offered for first-timers and for a Minyan (that's 10 or more people registering together from one congregation).

Lets bring our Pardes spirit to Kallah, and then bring back the Kallah inspiration to our community!

Talk to our rabbis about their Kallah experience. Its what brought them into Jewish renewal in the first place!

Thank You!

Thank you to Dale Rose for providing our oneg this past Saturday morning.

Events This Week

Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity - The Legacy of A. J. Heschel

Drop-ins welcome! $18, or $16 for JCC members

One of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, Abraham Joshua Heschel may be best known for marching with Martin Luther King - the subject of Menorah's January program, which left many who attended longing to learn more. Indeed, there's much more to Heschel than social activism. Come learn more about this great scholar, theologian, writer and teacher from one of his students, Rabbi Victor Gross. Rabbi Victor Gross was a student of Professor Heschel in the late 60's and had a personal  relationship with him and his family and paid a partial debt to his influence by writing his Ph.D. on him.
