On that day \, the Jewish community woke up to an unrecognizable new reality\, witness ing the stark rise in antisemitism\, the world’s oldest hatred\, in its wake. \;\n\nBut even in this dark hour\, the Jewish community is exper iencing something profound and beautiful: a deep\, abiding connection to c ommunity\, culture\, and faith. Drawing on the rich trove of Jewish histor y and tradition\, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove\, one of today’s most influentia l thought leaders and spiritual guides\, helps readers make sense of this fraught time. With warmth and wisdom\, Rabbi Cosgrove explores the challen ging questions embedded in the soul of contemporary Jewry. Where did all t his antisemitism come from\, and was it always there? How have Israel and Zionism shaped American Judaism\, and what ties us and divides us today? H ow do we practice Judaism and understand our place in a world that has\, w ithout fail\, in every century\, turned against us?\n\nKnitting together s torytelling with ancient teachings\, Rabbi Cosgrove helps navigate and und erstand the landscape of this new reality\, turning over questions that ha ve no clear or easy answer in the way only a very good rabbi can.\n\nFor t housands of years\, the Jewish people have wrestled with what it means to be Jewish. In this often divisive era\, Rabbi Cosgrove reminds of how we c an come together despite—and even because of—our differences. \;Fo r Such a Time as This \;is a guide for a new generation that is reconc iling the past with the present and facing the unknown future with courage \, spirit\, and unwavering hope.\n\n5PM\nWine and Cheese reception\n5:30PM \nTalk\n\nEvent is free but advanced registration is required.\n$25 to pur chase a copy of Rabbi Cosgrove's book.\n\nRegister Here ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ansheemet.org/wp-content/uploads/202 4/10/ELLIOT-COSGROVE-WEB-IMAGE-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Featured END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
