RSVP by June. 24 (mailto:office@cbiberkeley.org?subject=Shabbat%20Shalem%20Dinner%20w%2FR.%20Michael%20Hattin)
$10 per child, $15 per adult,
$45 maximum per family
9:00 p.m. Text study with visiting scholar, R. Michael Hattin
Topic: “Seasons of the Soul” – The current year is a leap-year in the Jewish calendar, a system of time keeping based upon the motions of both the sun and the moon. We will investigate Biblical text, rabbinic commentary and some basic science as we try to understand not only the mechanics of synchronization but the spiritual implications as well.

Saturday, June 28th
9:30 a.m. Early Childcare
11:30 a.m. Text study with visiting scholar, R. Michael Hattin
Topic: “Fallingwater” – In this week’s parasha, Moshe strikes the rock and is condemned – surely one of the Torah’s most cryptic episodes. We will attempt to understand his indiscretion through the lens of a seemingly unrelated Midrash concerning Rabbi Akiva. Along the way, we may discover that sometimes even recalcitrant rocks can melt into life-giving waters.
12:30 p.m. Kiddush

7:00 p.m. Text study with visiting scholar, R. Michael Hattin
Topic: “Excavating the Temple Ideal” – The road to peace runs through the Temple Mount, arguably the most hotly contested site in the world. Upon its summit once stood a glorious building that was destroyed almost two thousand years ago but refuses to be forgotten by our tradition. We will first study the ordering principles that underlie the Temple’s architectonics and then employ a process of “textual excavation” to recover the Temple Ideal from among the shards that remain.
8:00 p.m. Mincha
8:15 p.m. Seudah Shlishit
9:22 p.m. Maariv and Havdalah @CBI
