Join us for a joyous Shabbat evening on Friday, July 31st at 6:30pm
Special Guest Speaker: Dr. Raphael Panitz, PhD. in Biblical Studies and Near East History, will be speaking on the Development of Biblical Judaism from Moses until now.
Bring a dish to serve at least 10 – casserole, salad, vegetables, soup, etc., dairy or parve (no meat). Drinks will be provided.
At JCOR we recognize the importance of not only understanding one’s own religious traditions, but to be tolerant and friendly toward all groups’ traditions so that we all may live in peace and harmony together.
Once a month we host the meeting of the Women’s Interfaith Dialogue of Oak Ridge. Over 30 women gathered this past Monday to hear Barbara Carter speak about Buddhism.
The Women’s Interfaith Dialogue brings together women of diverse faith, color and culture to explore, understand and learn one another for the purpose of advancing justice, compassion, friendship and human rights, with a focus on women and children.
Later this month, members of our congregation will be joining members of Grace Covenant Church for an evening of schmoozing, noshing, and entertainment as we branch out into the greater Oak Ridge community and make new friends.
For more information on any of these events, please contact events@jcor.info
