• Resetting the Table Workshop – TEE

    Temple Emanu-El 2100 Highland Ave, Birmingham, AL, United States

    Experience a preview of Resetting the Table’s “Community Speaking Across Conflict” workshop, hosted by the Jewish Community Relations Council. Resetting the Table is a nationally renowned organization that “equips and activates leaders from across American life to transform toxic political divides.” Following the success of our April 2025 workshop, we’re excited to welcome Resetting the Table back to Birmingham this spring (April 15–16) to engage both new and returning participants in meaningful conversation across political difference. At this March 8 preview workshop, participants will learn more about Resetting the Table, hear from community members who have previously taken part in the training, and participate in an interactive activity designed to build skills for more constructive dialogue across difference. Brunch included.   RSVP at https://ourtemple.shulcloud.com/form/reset2026

  • CJFS volunteers monthly at Community Foodbank of Central Alabama

    Community Food Bank

    "See how food goes from donation to delivery by helping us sort and inspect donated food items, prepare the sorted product for our agency partners, and assemble food boxes for our programs." -Community Foodbank of Central Alabama Join CJFS volunteers every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 9-11am to help close the meal gap. "Over 246,000 of our neighbors and 68,000 children in central Alabama live in homes without access to adequate food (2023 numbers). That’s 1 in 5 children and 1 in 6 people who experience hunger regularly. Additionally, many children fall within the meal gap – they do not qualify for federal nutrition aid (SNAP), and they would fall through the cracks without help from the Community Food Bank."-https://feedingal.org/find-food-near-you/ CJFS and the Jewish community are ready to step it up and show our support to the foodbank and our neighbors who face food insecurity. Please contact caleigh@cjfsbham.org with interest and questions.

  • From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly – TEE

    From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly – TEE
    Temple Emanu-El 2100 Highland Ave, Birmingham, AL, United States

    The largest section of the TaNaKh, our most central Jewish text, is Nevi’im, the Prophets. In the numerous books of this section, we encounter the prophets of our tradition. The prophets in this text are passionate and moral people who desperately want to pass the word of God onto the Israelite people. The task of these figures is to be a compelling microphone of God, and help the chosen people find the best way to live according to God’s laws. Each prophet strives to make the world a better place. In the course, we will dive deeply into the Prophets, learning how to apply the text to our modern lives as well as examining the text itself through a lens on the Hebrew and commentary.
