I have been trying to ensure that I am more visible in the general community as Tifereth Israel's lay-leader, than in past years. With that in mind, I am currently designing a class that I will be teaching in the Spring for OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) about "A Taste of Judaism." The class will be held in April and May (6 weeks) at Tifereth Israel. In addition, I am planning a major outreach event for a Sunday afternoon in June. It will be "A Journey Through the Calendar Through Jewish Eyes." It will provide an opportunity for our congregants to share sights/sounds/tastes/information about Jewish holidays to visiting churches. Ruth Goldenberg, z''l, planned such an event years ago, and it was well received in the general community. It is my hope that this year's event will be as successful.
Other events in which I will be participating include: a panel on women in religion at UNL via the women's study department, and the State Holocaust Commemoration. As more invitations present themselves, I will be sure to let you know!
