During Kabbalat Shabbat services (6 pm) Rabbi Rosove will offer a tribute to Rabbi Marty Weiner, z''l, who was a mentor and dear friend for 40 years.
During the dinner, the general theme for Rabbi Rosove's talk is "Why Israel Matters." He will speak personally to the questions, doubts, struggles, and need for liberal and progressive American Jews of all ages (especially our young people) to understand our relationship with the State of Israel as a democratic and Jewish State and as an occupying power, and why our relationship with Israel is so important for our American Jewish future and for the future of the Jewish people. Israel is, in Rabbi Rosove's view, the greatest accomplishment of the Jewish people in 2000 years, and he will attempt to explain why.
