Join us for Kabbalat Shabbat this Friday, November 14 at 6:30 PM!

Leaders from the secular Tel Aviv yeshiva BINA will present Sarah’s Legacy: A Feminine Reading of Jewish Continuity through Jacqueline Kahanoff, and Rabbi Zach Golden will lead the musical service. We'll be serving Moroccan salmon and chicken from Holy Grill, along with vegetarian dishes.

Jacqueline Kahanoff was an Egyptian-born Israeli novelist, essayist and journalist. Kahanoff wrote in English, although she is best known for a cycle of essays, “A Generation of Levantines,” that was published in Israel in Hebrew translation in 1959. These pieces lay out her notion of “Levantinism,” a social model of coexistence drawn from her childhood experiences in Egyptian cosmopolitan society in the interwar period.
