  2. Jewish Renewal Sabbath with Rabbi Michael Lerner
    • San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
    • 6:00pm

    Rabbi Michael Lerner's approach to Judaism is at once revolutionary and traditional. He roots in the Torah and Jewish tradition his strong critique of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, and of the materialism and selfishness and spiriutal deadness that manifest in many parts of the American Jewish mainstream. His religious services recall the original Hasidic movement more than the citidels of compacency that dominate Jewish life in the United States. This weekend of Jewish Renewal will be a joyous experience of Jewish spiritual depth. Lerner is editor of Tikkun magazine. Registration info online.
