Rabbi Marc Soloway May 4, 2017 Jewish Life, Shavuot Comments Off on Haver’s Shavuot Program on Holiness

Shevuot 2017: 
Kedoshim Tihiyu: You Shall Be Holy
Tuesday May 30, 2017 from 8:00 pm – 1:30 am
Congregation Har Hashem’s South Building
 
What does holiness mean in a world filled with moral ambiguity? This Shavuot Eve, May 30, please join us for sacred study as Boulder’s Jewish spiritual leaders delve into the topic of “kedusha” and share their personal reflections on the challenges of living a holy life, on this night where we prepare to receive Torah anew.
The evening will include some movement and mediation as well as breakout study sessions with the rabbis and teachers and a panel at 10:45 pm on how we understand and bring holiness into our lives. Look out for details of the full program soon.
