The Charlotte Jewish News - February 2014 - Page 17 Sadie Levin Scholar-in-Residence is Dr. Rachel Dulin Professor at the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership February 7-8 “Dr. Rachel Dulin is a brilliant scholar who has the ability to make Bible study come to life. She weaves together ancient cul ture, history, and mythology and gives her students new ways to understand Bible and new ideas to consider. Her dramatic and dy namic presentation and delightful sense of humor make learning a pleasure.” - Susan Jacobs, Temple Beth El’s Director of Education “Everyone has one teacher in their life that makes learning come alive for them. For me, that teacher is Rachel Dulin. Her de votion to the study of bible is con tagious. Rachel approaches our sacred texts without sentimental ity, but with respect and an amaz ing depth of knowledge. 1 can’t wait to learn from her again.” - Roz Cooper, Director of the Con solidated High School of Jewish Studies Friday, February 7-8 PM * Late at Eight Shabbat Expe rience “Introduction to Exceptional Biblical Characters” Saturday, February 9 Themes Surrounding Politics, Gender, Faith, and Action” * Dvar Torah at our Congrega tional Shabbat Service at 11 AM * Havdalah at 5 PM: “Purim Katan” « Dr. Rachel Dulin * Shabbat Morning Workshop at 9 AM “The Book of Esther and Its up TEMPLE BETH EL Superheroes and Judaism Temple Beth El University 7 PM on Wednesdays, February 5,12,19 at Temple Beth El Join Rabbi Jonathan Freirich and Hebrew High teacher Sara Bryan Markovits for a multi- media exploration of the Jewish imagination’s expression in the realm of superheroes. From demon-conquering rabbis, the Golem, and the Dybbuk, to Su perman, Batman, X-Men, Spider- man, and the Avengers; from hundred year folk tales told to frighten grandchildren, to modem comic books and graphic novels, to movies, TV shows, and con temporary fiction; from the Bible and the Talmud, to Hasidic tales, Shalom Aleichem, Jerry Siegel, Stan Lee, Michael Chabon, and J. J. Abrams; the supernatural and superhuman fascinate Jews of all ages and times. The powerless understandably imagine what it would be like to have power - what is different and unique about Jews’ approaches to these ideas? As authors and pur veyors of the original David and Goliath story we devote ourselves to justice in the face of bullies. Is there something quintessentially Jewish about these stories? Is there a superhero with no Jewish flavor at all? Come learn, discuss, explore - up, up, and away! ^ Welcome to Our New Communications Specialist TEMPLE BETH EL TBE welcomes Nancy Thoma son, our new Communications Specialist.
