Minnesota Rabbinical Association Statement on Attacks on Israel
As co-chairs of the Minnesota Rabbinical Association, Rabbi Weininger presented this statement with Rabbi Jill Crimmings of Bet Shalom. It was joined by members of the MRA in response to missile fire from Gaza into Israel.

May 6, 2019

As rabbis from the Minnesota Rabbinical Association we call out in prayer, anguish and solidarity
with our family in Israel who face the onslaught of hundreds of rockets raining down from Gaza. We
despair as such acts of senseless violence wreak havoc on the lives of Israelis and worsen daily life
for Palestinians.

We hoped to greet Rosh Hodesh, the new Hebrew month of Iyyar, with full celebration this morning.
And yet our song and psalm were diminished. We pray for the safety and security of our family in
Israel and the vision of leadership to advance peace in the land.

Adath Studies Pirkei Avot
Saturday, June 8
7:30 - 9:30 pm
Note Knollwood Place starts earlier

Join the Adath community as we study the entire book of Pirkei Avot (the Ethics of Our Fathers) in one evening. Pirkei Avot is like a driver’s manual to the car we call life (well, if the rabbis 1800 years ago had cars). How do we treat ourselves? How do we treat one another? How do we relate to the world around us? Pirkei Avot helps us wind through the roads of life with a moral compass. Hop in the seat as we make our way to Sinai, linking the road our ancestors traveled and the one we pave.

Each location will study one chapter of Pirkei Avot. Choose a location and RSVP to the host to receive the address. Questions? Contact Anna Simon at annas@adath.net or 952.215.3904.
