As we enter Elul, the Jewish month of reflection, introspection, and preparation for the High Holidays, join Beth Emet member and professor Jonathan Singer, Director of Lifelong Learning Lauren Reeves, and special guest Yisroel Bernath, author of The Forgiveness Experiment, for an evening of conversation and practice.

We will begin with a discussion of key themes and questions from the book, exploring the challenges and possibilities of forgiveness through Jewish wisdom and personal reflection. Then author Yisroel Goldstein will join us to lead an interactive forgiveness exercise drawn from his work. Participants will also be able to talk with the author to ask their toughest questions about forgiveness, repair, and the work of the High Holiday season.

Reading the book is encouraged but not required. We will also have a podcast interview with Jonathan Singer and Yisroel Bernath to listen to. Whether you have read every page or are simply curious about the topic, all are welcome as we begin the personal work that leads toward Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Beth Emet relies on budgeted funds and donations to support adult education. This year, instead of class fees, we aim to raise $4,000 to cover costs. Please consider an optional donation at registration to help sustain lifelong learning.
