The Soul of the Matter ~ Who Are You?

This program will offer coffee and Krispy Kreme donuts to nourish your soul… plus:

Soul Searching: Where’s the Soul & Afterlife in the Bible?

11:30 pm, with Rabbi Ken Brodkin

As Jews, we often hear about the eternal soul and the afterlife. Oddly enough, they don’t seem to be mentioned in the Bible. Join us for an in-depth learning session as we look one layer below the surface of the Bible. Delve into the sources and discover a deeper part of yourself!

Panel Discussion: Who Are You?

12:30 am, with Dr. Rivka Berzow, Dr. Charles Kuttner & Rabbi Chanan Spivak (moderated by Rabbi Brodkin).

Join us for a candid conversation as a rabbi and two health professionals explore the nature of the soul and human spirituality. How do we know if we have a soul? Could this simply be an idea that humans fabricated? If we do have a soul, what does that mean for our real day-to-day lives?

Followed by a full night of learning and Neitz (sunrise) Minyan at 4:45 am!
