Temple Sholom of West Essex is a part of a community-based adult learning program called Rimon. Rimon is a collaboration among the synagogues and Jewish agencies of MetroWest, devoted to bringing high quality adult learning opportunities to the entire community. Rimon has just published its Spring 2008 Catalogue containing over 125 classes, workshops, lectures, film series, book discussions, and more. Find something that piques your interest and go study! If you have any questions, you are encouraged to contact the Rimon Director, Rabbi Robin Nafshi, at 973-530-3489 or rnafshi@jccmetrowest.org.
The catalogue is available on the Rimon website, www.rimonnj.org, or you can click here to view a pdf version.

TORAH on your iPod!
Now you can listen to the excellent weekly Torah commentaries prepared for the Union for Reform Judaism on your i-Pod, or online, (or receive them by e-mail).
We’ve been distributing these commentaries at erev Shabbat services for years. Now you can learn at home or on your way to work or when you’re working out, whatever.
Click on www.urj.org and follow the prompts.
Of course, we still want you to join the congregation in Shabbat worship, but this is an added, convenient way to expand your Torah knowledge.
Try it out!

By William Berkson In the last post in this series I explained why science will always leave the door open to belief in a God who gives unity and purpose to nature and to humanity, and a God, who, when...
