Geniza, or What’s in the Attic?

Saturday, November 5, 2016 4 Cheshvan 5777

12:15 PM - 2:15 PMB'nai Havurah

OK, so you’ve heard of the Cairo Geniza — but how about the Lakewood Geniza? Just what is geniza, anyway? And why are there two? Well, there aren’t really two — there are probably thousands, in every place where Jews write or print the name of God. What do we do with those materials? What does halakhah say we should do? Do we need to reconstruct those rules? Join us as we explore the world of genizot.

Facilitator: Pat Madsen, a B’nai Havurah member for the better part of 30 years, has written liturgy, studied for a master’s in Judaic Studies, helped plan many JWRC/ Kol Nashim Women’s Retreats, sat as a judge, practiced law, acted in local theaters, read more than is necessary, and taught at the Denver Institute for Jewish Studies.
