In response to recent challenges faced by the Jewish community, this series seeks to deepen our understanding of Jewish values and unite disparate elements through the exploration of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' profound teachings. Throughout 2024, participants will read and discuss six books covering a spectrum of significant Jewish ideas, from the connection to the land of Israel to the relevance of biblical narratives in the modern world.

The events, hosted every two months at various synagogues across Tidewater, will feature guided discussions and provide an opportunity for fellowship. Whether reading in advance or joining the discussions, participants are encouraged to deepen their connection with "the people of the book."
