BERMAN CENTER FOR

Berman Night of Learning
Thank God We Got Out of the
Garden of Eden
with Rabbi Joe Klein
Thursday, August 8, 2019
7:00 PM
Genesis Chapter Three, ususally regarded
as merely a children’s story, reveals itself to
be sophisticated literature, with an important
message about right and wrong, and our
place in God’s plan.
Smell, O Israel! The Significance of
Aroma in Jewish Tradition
with Rob Dobrusin
Thursday, August 15, 2019
7:00 PM
Our Rabbis saw memory, inspired by smell,
to be a factor in Torah stories, including
creation, the flood, Abraham’s journeys,
and Isaac’s blessing of his children. We will
study texts that are focused on aroma, and
deepen our appreciation for this often-ne-
glected sense, and its connection with
memory.
The Binding of Isaac in the Bible and
Contemporary Israeli Poetry
Thursday, August 22 & 29, 2019
7:00 PM
The Akeida - the Binding of Isaac - is one
of the most provacative stories in the Bible.
There are many interpretations of this
parshah, and many midrashim and piyyutim
based on it. The Akeida has haunted people
throughout generations. The Biblical story
presents the Akeida as a model of absolute,
total faith and trust in God.
Join us each session for sips, sweets and
schmoozing before the learning begins.
Open to the community at no charge - enter
through the doors of the Berman Center for
Jewish Education.

READ WITH THE RABBI: A CSZ BOOK CLUB
Putting God Second: How to Save
Religion From Itself
Thursday, August 22, 2019
6:00 PM
Read the book, then join the Rabbi for a
rousing discussion at the CSZ book club!
Author Donniel Hartman tackles one of
modern life’s most urgent and vexing
questions: Why are the great monotheistic
faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam -
chronically unable to fulfill their own self-
professed goal of creating individuals infused
with moral sensitivity and societies governed
by the highest ethical standards?
MEMBERS
One in a Minyan
Each day, CSZ’s Minyan connects you to a
meaningful and beautiful Jewish experience
that extends through the generations.
Everyone is invited to join us for this fulfilling
mitzvah each weekday morning (followed
by an optional Minyan breakfast), or in the
early evening. Enrich your soul and connect
with fellow congregants, some of whom
may be in need of help to say kaddish for a
loved one.
Check your calendar, go to www.
shaareyzedek.org and click the link to let us
know you’re coming.
Casual Shabbat
Continuing through Labor Day, we invite
you to dress more casually on Shabbat
mornings (but no shorts or jeans, please).
While it is important to dress respectfully for
the Synagogue, we welcome a more relaxed
summer standard.
If you are looking for a private space, our
Bride’s Room/Nursing Room is available,
with a private bathroom. Find it in the
Blumberg Hallway off the Weisberg Lobby,
to the right of the Chapel.

 MISSION & HISTORY

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK Mission

C ongregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and egalitarian

Conservative Jewish community. We provide to all generations innovative,
stimulating and diverse spiritual, educational, leadership and social opportunities
that nurture our love and commitment to Jewish life, our Synagogue, our country and
the State of Israel.

Our spiritual direction is led by committed, knowledgeable and caring clergy

available to all.

Together, all participate in celebrating our history, enriching our community and
planning our future.

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK History

In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, seventeen followers of Traditional

Judaism withdrew from the Beth El Society in Detroit to found the “Shaarey
Zedek Society.” In 1877 the membership constructed the first building in Detroit
to be erected specifically as a synagogue at Congress and St. Antoine. Over the
years, Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been located in a number of beautiful and
picturesque buildings. These include Winder between St. Antoine and Beaubien
Streets, Willis Street E and Brush, and Chicago Boulevard and Lawton which is still
standing. At the 100th annual meeting of the Congregation on April 12, 1961,
more than 700 members approved the recommendation from the Board of Directors
that a new synagogue be built on a forty acre site in the city of Southfield.

Since the 19th century, members of our congregation have proudly played leading
roles in Michigan, the nation and throughout the world Jewry. For more than
150 years Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been a house of prayer, a house
of learning and a community gathering place, transmitting Conservative Jewish
teaching, dor l’dor, from generation to generation.
