JESUS' JEWISH CONTEXT

Dr. Mary Boys of Union Theological Seminary will lead us in an exploration of Jesus’ Jewish context and how the "Jesus Movement" developed within first-century Jewish life. This series of three classes will examine the ways in which Second Temple Judaism and Jesus’ identity as a Galilean Jew informed his message and his movement for the kingdom of God. We are delighted to welcome members of the clergy and congregation of Central Synagogue to join us for this event. This program will take place exclusively on Zoom. All are welcome.

St. Bart'S at the opera

Opera is an art form uniquely suited to explore human nature and spirituality. Join two fellow St. Bart’s parishioners and passionate opera enthusiasts, Dr. James Ferrara and William Fulton, to examine the spiritual and moral dimensions of productions in performance this season at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Jamie and William will offer video highlights and encourage a lively discussion of insights into religion, morality, and human relationships from two operas. No previous experience or knowledge is required. The second session, on December 8, will feature Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's The Magic Flute and Giacomo Puccini's Tosca. Designed for both dedicated opera fans and newcomers who are ‘opera-curious’ and would like to know more about this powerful art form!
