Congregation Torat El in partnership with Congregation Beth Israel and Temple Beth Hillel present Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin, author, scholar and teacher
Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin is one of American Judaism’s most prolific and most-quoted rabbis and thought leaders. His colleagues have called him “an activist for Jewish ideas,” “courageous,” “always relevant,” and “a rabbi’s rabbi.” Ever since his first book, “Putting God on theGuest List: How to Reclaim The Spiritual Meaning of Your Child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah” (Jewish Lights Publishing), Rabbi Salkin has been known for his writing, teaching and activism. His books are on such subjects as ritual, masculinity, Zionism, inter-religious affairs, and how Jews can change the world.
He has written or edited three Torah commentaries – two of which are for teens. Several of his books have won national awards. Rabbi Salkin’s award-winning blog “Martini Judaism: for those who want to be shaken and stirred,” is published by the Religion News Service. He is currently the Rabbi of Temple Israel in West Palm Beach, Fl.
Recent studies show that organized mainstream religion is on the decline. Many people claim to belong to no faith tradition at all. But, while many don’t identify with a mainstream religion, many more people are indeed on a journey seeking spirituality and meaning in their lives. What resources does Judaism bring to this crucial conversation in society today? How can you find God in today’s world?
