  Join Dan Rosenberg, Tompkins County Poet Laureate and TvO member, for an evening reading and discussing a handful of great poems from across the rich and complicated tradition of modern Jewish poetry, including work by Emma Lazarus, Paul Celan, Dan Pagis, Yehuda Amichai, and others. This event will begin with readings of the poems, followed by a group-led discussion of them. We may also explore a poem by the great Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, and a poem of Rosenberg’s that engages directly with issues of Jewish identity and heritage.

  (in person only) at Tikkun v’Or At the end of last month's fascinating conversation with Rabbi Weiss we promised that there would be another opportunity soon for all TVO members to talk more about some of the issues that were raised. This next session of Big Jewcy Questions will give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on the following three questions: What is core to the TVO identity and what do we want to be as a congregation? How can TVO meaningfully accommodate — if not embrace and celebrate - the diversity of viewpoints within our congregation? How can TVO be inclusive and welcoming to interfaith families and at the same time maintain our sense of Jewish continuity, character, and content? In order to structure a meaningful interchange, we’d love to hear your thoughts ahead of May 4 on what you think might be important to discuss in relation to these big questions. Please go to this document and jot down some of your questions or thoughts. It’s not required to do this in order to attend, but we’d love to know what you’re thinking about and it would help us facilitate the conversation. Registration is encouraged but not required. Refreshments will be served
