New Book by BCRC Congregant
10/10/2017 11:12:48 AM
David Mendelsohn, one of our senior congregants, has a new book on Amazon and Kindle. THE MESSAGE follows four families facing life altering situations. The story also examines near death experiences, angels, disposition of our souls, the after life, drug rape, abortion issues, and more. How would you, the reader, react in these situations? Does reform Judaism concur?
His previous book, THE JOURNEY OF MOSES AND POLARIS, will have you laughing as you read the story told by MOSES dog, POLARIS. You'll get a different perspective about the ten plagues and the Exodus. Is this a view you'll agree with?

Interfaith Event Featuring Visiting Scholar
Come for One Evening or Both
Please join in us on Friday for a communal Sabbath study, service, meal, and discussion, led by Rabbi Charnes, to experience the depth and breath of what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel has rightly and most profoundly called our “sanctuary in time.”
Saturday’s program will feature a unique discussion between Rabbis (Rabbi Charnes and Rabbi Amy) and Pastors (from Community Lutheran Church, Sterling) on how Judaism and Christianity understand the nature of sin, forgiveness, and atonement; the function of law, faith, and grace; the notion of righteousness; what it means to be created in “the image of God;” and how these abstract doctrines and theologies can animate our sacred practices.
