Strange Fire: Power, Silence, and the Courage to Choose
**We encourage you to join us in person if possible**

Join us on Shabbat mornings for Torah Study: a lively Torah discussion every Saturday morning. Torah Study meets in-person at the Feuerstein Family Activity Center and diverse access here.

This week, join Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Menachem Creditor for a searching Torah study on Parashat Shemini, where the line between sacred passion and dangerous excess comes into sharp and unsettling focus. Drawing on original teachings and traditional commentaries, this session will engage with the moral weight of power, the theology of suffering, and the profound silence of Aaron, inviting participants into an honest encounter with what Torah does not resolve. This Torah conversation will challenge and inspire, calling us to examine how we live, lead, and choose the fires that shape our lives and communities.
