Since the 19th century, Jews have been making their home in Buffalo, bringing and building an array of attachments and connections, while forging ever-evolving paths in the city and suburbs. Part of the breadth of Jewish life in America, Jewish Buffalonians have created a diverse array of local institutions and organizations, businesses, and initiatives as they have responded to challenges and changes as individuals, families and neighbors. From utopian dreams that fail to materialize to neighborhoods and community institutions that did emerge, we will trace these local, national and international stories from the 1820's to our contemporary times over three online sessions. What was the attraction of Buffalo for Jews? Who settled here and why? How did communities evolve? Which factors were instrumental in shaping Jewish living in Greater Buffalo? How did these dynamics interact with existing communities? Did Buffalo Jewish trajectories mirror or diverge from other Jewish Community Histories in America? Using materials drawn from organizational archives, as well as individual, family and business papers, we will study the varied stories of Jewish community […]

    Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa 
    Center for Jewish Life 757 Hopkins Rd, Williamsville, NY, United States

    Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa is a fascinating series exploring the questions our ancestors asked sages across the ages. 3 things we’ll learn in the course: 1. How our ancestors lived We’ll explore thirty real-life cases and get vivid windows into the lives of Jewish individuals and communities across history—from Spain in the fourteenth century, to nineteenth-century Russia, and 1950s Brooklyn. What did they worry about? What problems did they face? Join to find out! 2. How Jewish law works It shapes everything from the synagogue service to who wins a dispute—but Jewish law is shrouded in mystery. How does an ancient law apply to new realities? How do the rules get made? We’ll unpack the steps that the sages followed to adjudicate disputes and answer tricky questions. 3. The future of Judaism In our final lesson, we’ll see how Jewish law is already grappling with the questions raised by travel to Mars, artificial intelligence, lab-grown meat, and more. Uncover your history. Understand your heritage. Join us for an enlightening and intriguing course. Instructor: Rabbi Laizer Labkovski Hot dinner served No charge, all are welcome!
