This year TheRetreat
will occur on the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War. We will be commemorating
this monumental event in Israeli history in several ways including an Israeli themed meal.
We are pleased to announce that our Scholar in residence
for 2017 will be Rabbi Danny Nevins. Rabbi Nevins is the Dean of the Rabbinical School and of the Division of Religious Leadership of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Before coming to the Seminary in 2007, he was the Rabbi at Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills, Michigan for 13 years. Among the topics of his responsa are personal status, bioethics, technology, and homosexuality. These and others may be seen at his web site. Rabbi Nevins will be speaking on The Six Day War: Fifty Years Later; Torah and Technology; and Keeping it Real: Judaism's Relevance for the Modern World.
 We will also be joined by the President of the Massachusetts State, Stan Rosenberg. Stan, the first Jewish Senate President, believes that, "The best way to win someone's trust is to tell the truth; clearly, forcefully, directly." Stan believes that government works better when a diversity of viewpoints are heard. Among his many interests are helping working families, education, and getting the unemployed into a stable work situation. Senator Rosenberg will be speaking on A Minyan in the State House? and The State of the State.
