I'm so glad we connected with such a wonderful congregation in Boise: CONGREGATION AHAVATH BETH ISRAEL: (http://www.ahavathbethisrael.org/welcome/)
We really enjoyed the Feast of Torah gathering yesterday. The overall theme was about Avaraham and Sarah. Marlon attended a workshop entitled: "Father of Nations: Abraham's Significance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." It featured a panel with the Rabbi from CABI, a pastor from the Presbyterian church, an Islamic Imam and a minister from the LDS church. I later joined Marlon and attended the workshop about Jewish conversion and there was a panel of 6 converts that shared their experiences and a glimpse in their journey.
There were great activities for the children with arts/crafts, calmness/peace workshop, creative activities and general fellowship with their peers.
I'm really looking forward to joining this community and expanding our understanding of Torah and the Jewish culture.
