Naples Jewish Congregation events

By Chuck Naumoff, Publicity Chair

The following January events are open to all in the community:

Adult education

Join us Friday, Feb. 23 at 5 p.m., when Rabbi Howard Herman will speak about Jewpernaural: Signs, Spirits and Superstition in Jewish Life. A light dinner ($10) and services to follow.

As a congregation, NJC is committed to promote education and reflective discussion of the compelling issues that we all face as Americans and Jews. Rabbi Herman is a poignant, insightful and entertaining educator, who generously shares his knowledge and brings about a vibrant and respectful exchange of ideas and beliefs.

We will meet to discuss:

• How we have only grown more fascinated by mysterious topics like the meaning of dreams.

• The existence of angels, demons and extraterrestrials

• The power of the evil eye

• The reality of tarot cards

• Psychics

With record interest inspiring curiosity, dread and mockery, this class probes the Talmud, Jewish philosophy and Kabbalah to provide Jewish perspectives and guidance for everyone who is curious about these questions.

Join us for dinner ($10 at the door) after the class and before services. We can continue the discussion or just share the social moment, then attend the Friday night Shabbat Service that follows. Dinner reservations may be made by emailing dlechtner@gmail.com or calling Dick Lechtner at 814-882-4578.
