Livestream Information

There seems to be some confusion about how to watch the livestream of the Kol B'Seder Concert on Saturday.  As indicated on the registration form for the concert, there is a separate link to access the livestream, which will cost $20 per location (access to the livestream cannot be shared).  You will have to register for an account on the Castr site and then you will be able to view the concert after you pay for the livestream "ticket".   https://bit.ly/May20Livestream

The "Great Man Theory" of the 19th century champions an approach to the study of history in which the unfolding of events through time can be explained by individuals of a "great" nature, often by virtue of their character, abilities, or influence manifesting in historical effect. Through the lens of Jewish history, the thrust of our people might also be explained by our prodigious leaders of the past. The famous expression, "from Moses (Rabbeinu) to Moses (Maimonides), there is no one like Moses (Mendelssohn)"  encapsulates this very notion, albeit limited to a name. Join Rabbi Falco on this journey through Jewish history powered by the greatest leaders of our people, from biblical times up to the modern day. Participants will have the opportunity to drive parts of the curriculum by requesting and/or voting on particular leaders on which to focus our study as we move through the ages to today.

We are excited to announce plans for a special Rock Shabbat Weekend featuring Kol B'Seder and honoring Cantor Wally's 25 years as an ordained Cantor.

Jeff Klepper & Dan Freelander have performed as the group Kol B'Seder since 1972 and are on their 50th anniversary tour. Their melody for Shalom Rav is the most popularly sung in the denominations of Judaism where many prayers are sung rather than chanted.

Whether you join us at the Rock Shabbat Service, honoring Cantor Wally on Friday, May 19th; or attend the Seminar with Jeff Klepper, which will follow Bob Dylan's spiritual journey; come enjoy the concert; or all three events, this is a special opportunity to be inspired by the beautiful spiritual music that will fill Temple Shaari Emeth the weekend of May 19th to 20th.

*No tickets are needed for the Shabbat Service on May 19th.

Special Guest: Linda Coppleson
Expressions of Jewish tradition span the gamut. From ritual to prayer and from art to Judaica, the products of our tradition reach deep into the lives and souls of our people. Perhaps one of the most recognizable of these expressions is the scribal penmanship of a sofer/soferet. The special script comprising the letters of every Torah Scroll is precious, but that doesn’t mean it should be distant. At TSE in 5783, it doesn’t have to be! Join Soferet (Hebrew Scribe) Linda Coppleson and learn how to form the Hebrew letters in the style of Torah script and create your own artwork to take home.
