Beit Midrash: The Guide of the Perplexed
1st and 3rd Shabbat Mornings, 10:30 AM
On Zoom
Join us on the 1st and 3rd Shabbat mornings for our study of Maimonides’ The Guide of The Perplexed. This controversial text has been a point of contention for centuries in Jewish communities.
This philosophical masterpiece is, indeed, credited for ushering in a new era in Jewish thought and, as such, for being a transformative influence on our people.
Kabbalat Shabbat Service
Our Shabbat services are offered online (see it on our App, Download here!) and in-person on the first and third Fridays of every month at 7pm PST. The services will be livestreamed here and in-person at Center for Spiritual Living at 6318 Linden Ave N, Seattle.
Shabbat services are the perfect entry point not only to explore Jewish tradition and spirituality through ancient and modern prayers and practices, but to take a break from the hectic pace of our busy lives and gather together to remember that we are human *beings* and not just human *doings.*
Surfin’ Shushan Way Purim
Join us for a groovy, Beach Boys-themed Purim celebration! Our musicians will perform a far-out Purim Spiel alongside Rabbi Olivier. Get ready to hang loose and ride the waves on March 21st during our Friday Shabbat Service!
We will also be looking for volunteers to help with the Hamantaschen baking extravaganza this year. Please contact the office at administrator@betalef.org if you are willing to contribute to the party.
