SUMMARY:Jewish-Christian Dialogue Workshop with Dr. Sarah Emanuel
DESCRIPTION:As a continuation of the spring class we held\, “Weeding Antisemitism Out of Christianity\,” Dr. Sarah Emanuel\, a Jewish scholar of the New Testament\, will be leading a workshop on Jewish-Christian dialog\, using the writings of the Apostle Paul. Everyone is welcome. We’re doing this in partnership with St. Clare’s Episcopal and will also invite anyone from the Temple who would like to join as well. We will have lunch together immediately after the service (ordered from Haifa Falafel)\, followed by the workshop. We could possibly offer childcare should it be needed\, so let a staff member know asap if that would be helpful.
