Rabbi Daniel Vaisrub
A Shabbaton is a group celebration of Shabbat, and our shul is hosting a Shabbaton weekend on Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1. The scholar-in-residence for the event is Rabbi Daniel Vaisrub, a professor of Jewish law at the Hebrew Seminary in Skokie, IL.
The Shabbaton will open with a Shabbat dinner at 5:30 on July 31, followed by Shabbat services, and a talk by Rabbi Vaisrub focused on the Ten Commandments. On Saturday morning, Rabbi Vaisrub will talk about Halakhic innovation — reconciling an ancient faith with unchanging principles guided by the Torah vs. new law, new practices, new beliefs. A Kiddush lunch with opportunities for questions and discussion will follow the morning service and talk. Rabbi Vaisrub will conclude the Shabbaton with a summary of the experience.
The Shabbaton is sponsored by Paul and Pamela Birman in honor of Paul’s 80th birthday, and is free to all participants. Meals will be provided by Nassau Kosher Caterers. RSVP to Suzi Rosenstreich at 631-734-6961 or srosenstreich@optonline.net/.
