A new 3 Part Series for Women beginning in May
Kneading Faith
The Mitzvah of Challah
Sunday, May 16th 2010, 7:30 pm
at the Chabad Center of Sudbury
For some, challah evokes warm memories of mothers and grandmothers lovingly kneading dough and then braiding delicate strands into gorgeous loaves. Originating in the times of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, challah gracing the Shabbat table is a cherished Jewish tradition, and it is one of the foundations of the Jewish home. Many delight in the aroma and taste of challah, fresh from the oven—though the deeper dimension, the essence of this mitzvah, few have explored.
“Kneading Faith: The Mitzvah of Challah” is the first session in JLI’s Rivkah’s Tent series, in honor of Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg, the Chabad emissary to Mumbai, India, who was brutally murdered in the 2009 terrorist attacks. This lesson will examine the history and significance of the mitzvah of challah, emphasizing its connection with Jewish women.
Still Life with Candles at Friday Dusk
An Artistic Exploration of the Mitzvah of Shabbat Candles
Sunday May 23rd, 7:30 pm
at the Chabad Center of Sudbury
Just before sunset on Friday, a woman lights the candles and covers her eyes in prayer. This iconic image has come to symbolize Jewish family and motherhood.
Join us for “Still Life with Candles at Friday Dusk,” as we study the mitzvah of candle lighting and the way in which it infuses a Jewish home with light and warmth. What is its origin? Why has it taken such hold of Jewish memory and imagination? We'll take an artistic journey, examining both poetry and painting, as we try to understand the magic and mystery of the Shabbat candles.
