It Takes a Neighborhood

During the mid-autumn festival, traditional to Chinese and other Asian cultures, gather in our sukkah to learn how local communities celebrate and hear about the history of Gallery Place/Chinatown. Artists from Chalk Riot will share how a new large-scale art installation plans to capture the diversity of our neighborhood.

Jewish Ethics: Freeing Captives 

On Saturday, October 7, Hamas terrorists, in addition to murdering over 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped over 160 hostages. While this hostage situation is unparalleled in its magnitude and brutality, this is sadly not the first time Jews have been forced to deal with the painful challenge of freeing captives. How far must we go to redeem captives? How far are we allowed to go? How do we balance the needs of the individual captives with the needs of the broader society? Explore with Rabbi Aaron the ways our ancient rabbis addressed these complicated questions.
