August 2, Saturday 10 AM Rabbi Douglas Heifetz Lead-Service, Kiddush and Discussion: From Shiraz to Sinai: Persian Jewish Voices in Poetic Form 

The recent peak of hostilities between Israel and Iran can easily blind us to the glorious culture of the Persian (Iranian) Jewish community. Thus, it's a perfect time to read and discuss some of the best of ancient Persian Jewish poetry, with themes of love, mysticism and moral searching. RSVP: info@beittikvah.org
