Speaking and presenting at local study groups

In September of last year, I was asked to replace the rabbi, who was not available, at a study group of Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple in Beachwood, Ohio. The group has been meeting for 37 years, and I was invited to present selections from Anne Frank’s writings. I chose writings that expressed Anne’s belief in God and her sense of being Jewish which evolved while she was in hiding.  The study group then discussed their reactions--they were in awe at the clarity and maturity of Anne’s writing.

On February 18 at 8:00 in the evening, I will be speaking at the monthly Shabbat dinner of the Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland. The group meets at the First Unitarian Church in Shaker Heights.
