Adult Ed led by Rabbi Bogot "Reformation Judaism: Chassidim and Reconstructionists."
Rabbi Howard Fogelson Bogot, D.D. has been facilitating Adult Education courses at Old York Road Temple-Beth Am before our current sanctuaries, the Elise and Rabbi Harold B. Waintrup (z"l) Religious School, and our administrative campus existed. Currently, he serves as the Lecturer in Jewish Studies at Abington College of Penn State University.
Rabbi Bogot is offering (via Zoom) a second seminar in his current series, beginning on May 19 (six consecutive Wednesday at 1:00 pm).
In contrast to the contemporary use of these denominational labels, this seminar will explore the ORIGINAL essence of these reforms and how that essence relates to our present Jewish identity.
Participants will use an edited syllabus created by Rabbi Dr. Abraham ronback (z"l).

Old York Road Kehillah Book Discussion: ‘Palestine Posts’ Sunday, June 13, 2021 | 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Join us for a book discussion of “Palestine Posts: An Eyewitness Account of the Birth of Israel,” featuring author Daniel Chertoff. Daniel’s father, Mordecai, came to Palestine in 1947 as a twenty-five-year-old, determined to make his contribution to the emerging Jewish State. Between 1947 and 1950, he was a local news editor, foreign news editor, and war correspondent for The Palestine Post, a soldier in the Haganah, and a resident of Jerusalem. The book reflects the personal journey undertaken by the author to better understand a crucial period in Jewish history as well as his father as a young man and describes powerful encounters.
The book is available via Amazon in either softcover or Kindle or through the publisher, Koren. Use the code “posts” for a 15% discount.
During these hours, we will be answering phone calls and checking emails while working. We will NOT be open to the public or to congregants at this time.
