| Jan 27 Tue- Rabbi to Discuss the Jewish Wedding | |
The Hazak Active Retirees Chapter of Congregation Beth Emeth, Herndon, VA will present Rabbi Leonard Cahan, on Tuesday, January 27, 1:00 PM, for a discussion of the origins of Jewish marriage customs. The Jewish legal requirements for marriage represent only a small part of the rituals that take place at a Jewish wedding ceremony. Rabbi Cahan will guide the participants through the customs that characterize weddings today, as well as others that have fallen by the wayside. He will explore rituals that have grown up in the many different societies in which Jews have lived, and the rich symbolism that has made them so appealing and enduring. Rabbi Leonard Cahan is the Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Har Shalom in Potomac, Maryland, where he served, until 2001, as the Senior Rabbi for 27 years. The CBE Hazak Chapter presents a uniquely Jewish program on the third Tuesday of each month – September through June – at this same time. Meetings feature prominent speakers and entertainers, providing area Jewish seniors with a time to socialize and learn. There is no cost and light refreshments are served. For more information, call 703-860-4515, ext. 127. Congregation Beth Emeth is located at 12523 Lawyers Road, Herndon, VA 20171, 2.9 miles south of the Dulles Toll Road, Reston Parkway Exit. |
