Lunch & Learn

Join Rabbi Bellows for an invigorating Lunch and Learn conversation as we find meaning and explore themes in a book with a Jewish connection, whether fiction or nonfiction.  You do not have to attend all sessions to enjoy Lunch and Learn with the Rabbi.

Read the book (or not) and challenge yourself to explore deeper meaning in the literature.  And don’t forget your brown bag lunch.

Rabbi Naomi Levy weaves together personal stories, Jewish wisdom, spiritual reflection, and the remarkable true story of a letter written by Albert Einstein to the grieving father of a young woman who had died. The letter, written shortly before Einstein’s own death, explores the nature of reality, connectedness, and the illusion of separation.

Using Einstein’s words as a starting point, Rabbi Levy invites readers to explore some of life’s deepest questions: Why are we here? What happens when we die? How do we cope with loss? What is the soul? How can we live with greater purpose, compassion, and wonder?
