Shalom Chaverim!
*Tonight, Friday, May
11, 8 p.m. (note later start
time), please join us for Shabbat services. My sermon topic will be:
President Obama's "Evolutionary" Bombshell on Gay Marriage: A Jewish
Perspective. I have a lot to share from the Torah and I do NOT like
the idea that one has to turn one's back on the Bible to take an ethical stand
on this issue, which has been suggested by the liberal commentaries I have
heard.
*Tomorrow, Saturday, May 12, 9:30 a.m., please
join us again for Shabbat services. My sermon topic will be "Iran 360:
From VP Joe Biden to the AJC Global Forum." From my recent encounter
with Vice President Biden at the Rabbinical Assembly in Atlanta to my attendance
with top experts at the recent American Jewish Committee Global Forum in
Washington, DC, I have much to share...and of course I'll work in the
Parasha Ha Shevua: Emor.
Be relevant. Stay informed. Attend
Shabbat services at Congregation Beth Shalom.
Shabbat
shalom,
Rabbi Michael
Michael,
ReplyDeleteI know of Orthodox Jewish rabbis who don't agree with same sex unions and that 100 of them signed a manifesto to this effect, stating that acceptance of homosexuality and homosexual unions is a distortion of the Torah.
Do you know of this group/event and what have been your thoughts in dialoging with them?
