Minyan 2019 Shabbaton

On January 25 and 26, 2019, Mah Tovu Ezra Habonim Egalitarian Minyan of Rogers Park will host our annual Shabbaton with guest speaker Benjamin Sommer. Professor Sommer, a former Egalitarian Minyan member, is Professor of Bible at the Jewish Theological Seminary. 

His book, Revelation and Authority: Sinai in Jewish Scripture and Tradition, received the Goldstein-Goren Prize in Jewish thought and was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award. The Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz described Sommer as “a traditionalist and yet an iconoclast – he shatters idols and prejudices in order to nurture Jewish tradition and its applicability today.”
