Course Explores Origins
And Evolution Of Judaism
Beginning in May, the Tugman Bais
Chabad Torah Center, in partnership with
Federation's alliance for Jewish Education,
will present "Judaism Decoded: The Origins
and Evolution of Jewish Tradition," a six-
week course from the Rohr Jewish Learning
Institute that will uncover the unique for-
mula that has sustained Jewish tradition for
millennia.
With the world
changing at a rapid
pace, "Judaism
Decoded" tackles the
intricate questions of
whether rabbis can
unilaterally change
Torah, and how Jewish
tradition reacts to new Rabbi Shneur
Silberberg
circumstances and
modern-day dilemmas.
Rabbi Shneur Silberberg will conduct the
six course sessions. There are two options
each week for the classes, 11 a.m. Sundays
beginning May 3 at the Bais Chabad Torah
Center in West Bloomfield and 7 p.m.
Thursdays beginning May 7 at the Jewish
Federation in Bloomfield Township.
"The recent holiday of Passover reminded
us of the importance of asking questions;
Judaism encourages that:' says Silberberg.
"Torah law is built on a complex source code,
and we're going to examine it in detail. But
we're going to reach back even further: How
do we even know the Torah is true in the
first place? This course is going to address
these controversial questions head on:'
Like all previous JLI programs, "Judaism
Decoded" is designed to appeal to people
at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including
those without any prior experience or back-
ground in Jewish learning. All JLI courses
are open to the public, and attendees need
not be affiliated with a particular synagogue,
temple or other house of worship.
The cost of the course is $80 and scholar-
ships are available. Interested students may
call (248) 207-5513 or visit www.baischabad.

Series Examines
End-Of-Life Issues
Attorney Andrew J. Broder and
Rabbis Mark Miller and Daniel
Syme from Temple Beth El in
Bloomfield Township will present
a five-part series, "End-of-Life
Decision Making: The Law, Jewish
Tradition and Practical Concerns:
Andrew
Broder
Sessions will be offered twice daily at the
temple, at either 12:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. on
Wednesdays, April 29, May 13, May 27, June
10 and June 24. Each day will feature a dif-
ferent topic.
These events are free and open to the
community.
Making decisions about end-of-life care
is often an uncomfortable subject. However,
understanding the complexities of end-of-
life care, with all of its considerations, will
help with advance preparations. This open
and honest conversation about the realities
of end-of-life care will aid in making these
decisions, either for ourselves or for and with
our loved ones.
Sessions include the legal perspective, the
Jewish perspective, common myths, advance
directives and dealing with disputes and
conflicts regarding end-of-life decisions.
Broder has extensive experience in end-
of-life decision making. He litigated the prin-
cipal "right-to-die" cases in Michigan and
presented an "End-of-Life Decision Making"
seminar at U-M law school.
The event is presented in coopera-
tion with Hospice of Michigan and
is free and open to the community.
Light refreshments will be served.
Advance reservations are encour-
aged.

CELEBRATION
COMMON DESTINY
Vatican II (and specifically the Nostra Aetate document)
revolutionized relationships between the Catholic Church and
many faith communities. Just as importantly, it helped usher in
a period of interfaith dialogue and openness that has resulted
in stronger connections between many groups.
This year's Glazer Institute is meant to utilize Nostra Aetate as a
jumping off point for us to determine together, what the religious
landscape of our city will hold for the next 50 years. By sharing
our hopes, dreams, concerns, and fears, we can chart a course
forward.
