oin Conservative movement
sisterhood members in ask-
ing the big questions about
who we are, who we once were and
who we want to be in the new year of
5774. Two engaging
learning sessions
will be led by Rabbi
Abigail Treu, nation-
al director of the
Torah Fund of the
Women's Campaign
for Conservative
Rabbi Treu
Judaism.
"I Am Not Who I
Was: An Evening for Jewish Women"
will take place at 7:30 p.m. on
Monday, Aug. 5, at Congregation B'nai
Moshe in West Bloomfield. Treu will
lead the group in a discussion about
what would it be like to come into
5774 with a renewed sense of self,
purpose and identity.
This spiritual journey will continue
with a Conservative Community
Women's Rosh Chodesh service at 9
a.m. followed by a study session at
9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, at Adat
Shalom Syndagogue in Farmington
Hills. Treu will present "God Changes
and So Should We: A Short History of
the 13 Attributes"
Throughout the High Holiday litur-
gy, the list appears of 13 attributes of
God: God is compassionate and gra-
cious, slow to anger and more. Why
is this such a prominent part of the
machzor (High Holiday prayer book)?
Treu previously was a rabbinic
fellow for the Jewish Theological
Seminary where she taught and led
grassroots fundraising operations
and community engagement pro-
gramming. Co-author (with Rabbi
Dov Peretz Elkins) of The Bible's Top
50 Ideas, she writes regular parshah
commentaries and a midrash column
for JTS' weekly parshah email distrib-
uted to nearly 30,000 people.
She also serves on the board of the
Jewish Outreach Institute, reaching
out to unaffiliated and interfaith fami-
lies, and on the Rabbinical Assembly
Women's Committee.
Light refreshments will be served
at both programs, which are co-
sponsored by Torah Fund and the
sisterhoods of Adat Shalom, B'nai
Israel, Beth Ahm, Beth Shalom, B'nai
Moshe and Shaarey Zedek. There is
no charge to attend, but reservations
are requested and gifts in support of
Torah Fund are welcome.
