Spring 2012 Gala Event • May 20—Rabbi Levi Weiman-Kelman
We are truly delighted to announce that our featured guest speaker at our Spring GALA event on Sunday, May 20 will be Rabbi Levi Weiman-Kelman from Jerusalem.
A native of Chicago, he is the founder and Senior Rabbi of Congregation Kol HaNeshama, the largest Reform congregation in Israel. A co-founder of Rabbis for Human Rights, Levi Kelman is a revered spiritual teacher, a tireless worker for justice and peace, and an interreligious pioneer.
Levi will be giving this year's Marjorie Lindsay Reed Symposium Lecture at the Gala.
Details will be forthcoming soon.
"Spiritual Perspectives"
Ron Miller can, of course, never be replaced. But Common Ground will continue to honor his memory and his teaching and scholarship by inviting several regular CG faculty members to offer workshops on fall Wednesday mornings, in the 9:30-11:30 am time slot that Ron filled so powerfully for so many years. Each workshop will address the theme, “Spiritual Perspectives" in a unique way. See page two for more details on this extraordinary series of eight workshops.
The Great Themes (Wednesday Evening Lectures)
Many of CG’s Wednesday Evening Lectures this Winter address some of the most important and influential themes in human intellectual history. Presentations belonging to this category will be individually identified as “Great Themes.” Watch for them.
