Interfaith SACred ConversationS
Join Us for an Interfaith Study of Psalms 113-118
Join us for Interfaith study and dialogue with Rabbi Julius Rabinowitz & members and friends of Congregation Beth Jacob.
How do Jews and Christians read our shared scriptures differently, and how do we read them the same way? What brings us together, and what differences do we need to honor?
We will delve into these questions and more as we study Psalms 113-118 (the "Hallel Psalms") in community. We will study 3 Psalms at each house of worship.
Join us for one or both sessions:
Sunday, May 18, 2025 at Park Church
worship at 10am, followed by lunch and study
Saturday, May 31, 2025 at Congregation Beth Jacob
prayer service at 10am, followed by lunch and study
