Around the Community

2016 Gaynor Lecture - May 23, 7:00 pmWhat was the defining characteristic of kosher certification in America 100 years ago? Corruption! Industry associations and consumer groups estimated that between 50% and 65% of "kosher" meat was fraudulently mispresented. Organized crime dominated kashrut. Law Professor Timothy Lytton tells how things changed at the JCC's Rabbi Nathan and Sylvia Gaynor Lecture. This event is free and open to the community. There will be a desert reception and book signing to follow.

From "Torah Sparks"One of the Torah’s seminal chapters, Leviticus 19 exhorts the Israelites to be holy because God is holy. Holiness is achieved, in part, by honoring our parents, protecting our children, rejecting idolatry, giving to the poor, offering sacrifices sincerely, and dealing with strangers and neighbors with decency and fairness.

The second part of the parasha, Leviticus 20, returns to some of the same themes, focusing heavily on sexual ethics found in Leviticus 18 and avoiding idolatry.
