Shabbats, Holy Days and Festivals provide a vital opportunity for members of the Temple Beth Zion family to share the joys and sorrows of their lives. Celebrations are enhanced through sharing; sorrows softened through a supportive, caring community.

Come celebrate with us the joys of life and find comfort in times of need.

Sam_Magavern_901

Author Sam Magavern To Speak at Services

Friday, March 12, 7:30 PM

805 Delaware Avenue

We are thrilled to welcome Sam Magavern as a special speaker during Shabbat Services. The local author will talk about his new book, Primo Levi's Universe, and explore the life and thoughts of one of the last century's greatest thinkers and most enigmatic men, including Levi's complex attitude toward his Jewish heritage. Primo Levi is best known for his memoirs of Auschwitz, but he was a renaissance man: scientist, poet, mountain climber and novelist.

Sam Magavern co-directs the Partnership for the Public Good and teaches at the University at Buffalo Law School. His work has appeared in many journals, including Poetry and the Paris Review.

At Family Services, all generations come together in worship on the first weekend of every month.  Religious School classes often lead some of the service, sharing their own thoughts along with our traditional liturgy.  When held at the Broder Center, we pray with our hands free and our hearts full as use the Mishkan T'Filah prayerbook through an innovative Power Point presentation.  Whether at the Broder Center or the Delaware Building, families and individuals from every generation are invited to participate and pray together as a community.
