Kollel

Kollel is a community discussion of myriad Jewish points of view
on a variety of topics
based upon readings and ideas.

These are gleaned from many cultures
from modern through ancient times.

The emphasis is on the integrative - bringing together the fragments of our lives and cultures.

The social ambiance is friendly, open, and receptive.

The discussion, led by Joe Engelberg,
is lively and thoughtful.

No previous attendance or level of Jewish learning is required
--your entire life-experience is what you bring to the group.

Kollel convenes every second Saturday of the year
at 9AM in the Temple Adath Israel Library.

Joe Engelberg leads this study of fundamental ideas of Jewish life and thought. Among these are spirituality, the nature of God, a critique of Biblical and traditional injunctions and laws, Jewish history, principles of the Reform movement, the relation of Judaism to Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. The purpose of the Kollel group’s study is not to assert these principles as eternal truths, nor to refute them, but to discover the wisdom there is in them and to expand upon them. Drop in any time and join in the provocative and friendly discussion.
