Lunch with the Clergy
Wednesday, Dec 18th 12:00p to 1:00p
The Talmud teaches that the first Shabbat was a day of continuous light, a sacred and special light since hidden away referred to as the or ganuz— hidden light. Our sages teach that each Hannukah candle draws from the or ganuz—the original, primordial light of creation that shined from one end of the world to the other. The Hanukkah candles can help point us toward that hidden light within. How do we bring this or ganuz – this sacred and hidden light – back into our lives? Join Cantor Alisa on Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 at Noon at Baja Cantina as we explore what the Sages of old have to teach us about the light of Hanukkah. Please register online or RSVP by calling the CBI office at 831-624-2015. Lunch menu ranges from $15 to $22.00 a person.
