The Center for Jewish Learning, Central Reform Congregation, and Shaare Emeth will present a Collaborative Community Scholar-in-Residence Experience March 12-15 featuring Master Scholar and Teacher Noam Zion.

Zion is a senior research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute. His publications have focused on empowering families to create their own pluralistic Judaism celebrations of the holidays in the home. His most popular publications include “A Different Night: The Family Participatory Haggadah.”

He can be heard during four events:

Thursday, March 12, at 7 pm

Kaplan Feldman Complex, 12 Millstone Campus Dr., 63146
Tale of Two Cities: Washington’s Washington, D.C., and King David’s City of David
Now that Washington recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel let us examine what unites these sister cities. President George Washington and King David each founded a magnificent symbolic city to hold together a disparate new commonwealth. What ideals do these cities share and how much do these capitals unite or divide us? Register here.
