Exploring Judaism's Denominational Divide
Monday, March 8, 2021 • 24 Adar 5781
1:00 PM - 2:00 PMZoomJoin us Mondays, February 22-March 15 at 1:00pm to learn with Rabbi Brett Isserow.
Viewed from the outside, Judaism is often considered to be monolithic. However, there are in reality several major religious issues which have divided the Jewish community into diverse streams. Although most of these took their modern form in the past two hundred years, they have deep roots in the past.
We will trace the historical origins of these denominational streams and the differences in their ideology, practice, and belief systems. We will also examine how they have developed and changed over the decades and attempt to assess whence they are headed.
Conflicting attitudes towards Revelation, Providence, Messianism, Ritual, Women, Homosexuality, and Modernity characterize the divide and are some of contentious topics we plan to discuss.

The Fast of the Firstborn (Ta’anit Bechorim) commemorates the horrific tenth plague that God inflicted on Pharaoh and the Egyptian people. In recognition of this moment, firstborn Jews fast on Erev Pesach. As this is a minor fast, there is a widely practiced exemption: Judaism allows anyone who attends a religious feast to forego fasting. It is customary to hold a celebratory meal on the completion of study of a piece of text, called a siyyum (conclusion). Whether you are a firstborn relieving yourself from the pre-Pesach fast, or anyone else simply looking to learn a little, come join us for the siyyum. After the siyyum, we will celebrate with a light breakfast. -
