We welcome back Dr. Jeremy Samuel Faust, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the division of health policy and public health, and an instructor at Harvard Medical School for a conversation with our host, Dr. Jonathan Graf on the state of the virus.

In a time of great difficulty, we can take solace in the opportunity for communally expressing and processing grief that is offered by Tisha B'Av, the day on which we traditionally commemorate the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples in Jerusalem. Spend your lunch hour with Rabbi Abby exploring themes of grief and loss in Jewish text and prayer. Join us on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89879467817?pwd=d0cvbnpTRm1hUWZtdEpWV2laeVR3Zz09

What is the Talmud, and why does Rabbi Phelps think it can be more resonant for Reform Jews than the Torah? Come to this session to find out. (We will read some Talmud texts in English translation; no prior knowledge of Talmud will be needed.)
