BERMAN CENTER FOR
JEWISH EDUCATION
Smell, O Israel! The Significance of
Aroma in Jewish Tradition
with Rabbi Rob Dobrusin
Thursday, August 15, 2019
7:00 PM
Our Rabbis saw memory, inspired by smell,
to be a factor in Torah stories, including
creation, the flood, Abraham’s journeys,
and Isaac’s blessing of his children. We will
study texts that are focused on aroma, and
deepen our appreciation for this neglected
sense and its connection with memory.

Contemporary Israeli Poetry
with Nira Lev
Thursday, August 22 & 29, 2019
7:00 PM
A 2-part class on the Akeida (the Binding of
Isaac), one of the most provacative stories
in the Bible. There are many interpretations
and many midrashim and piyyutim based on
it. The Biblical story presents the Akeida as a
model of absolute faith and trust in God.
Join us each Berman Night for sips, sweets
and schmoozing before the learning begins.
Open to the community at no charge - enter
through the doors of the Berman Center for
Jewish Education.

 MISSION & HISTORY

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK Mission

C ongregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and egalitarian

Conservative Jewish community. We provide to all generations innovative,
stimulating and diverse spiritual, educational, leadership and social opportunities
that nurture our love and commitment to Jewish life, our Synagogue, our country and
the State of Israel.

Our spiritual direction is led by committed, knowledgeable and caring clergy

available to all.

Together, all participate in celebrating our history, enriching our community and
planning our future.

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK History

In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, seventeen followers of Traditional

Judaism withdrew from the Beth El Society in Detroit to found the “Shaarey
Zedek Society.” In 1877 the membership constructed the first building in Detroit
to be erected specifically as a synagogue at Congress and St. Antoine. Over the
years, Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been located in a number of beautiful and
picturesque buildings. These include Winder between St. Antoine and Beaubien
Streets, Willis Street E and Brush, and Chicago Boulevard and Lawton which is still
standing. At the 100th annual meeting of the Congregation on April 12, 1961,
more than 700 members approved the recommendation from the Board of Directors
that a new synagogue be built on a forty acre site in the city of Southfield.

Since the 19th century, members of our congregation have proudly played leading
roles in Michigan, the nation and throughout the world Jewry. For more than
150 years Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been a house of prayer, a house
of learning and a community gathering place, transmitting Conservative Jewish
teaching, dor l’dor, from generation to generation.
