Swarsensky Weekend 2021
Swarsensky Memorial Weekend Featuring Rabbi Mark Sameth
November 12–14, 2021 • Temple Beth El & Zoom
We are pleased to announce our 2021 Swarsensky scholar: Rabbi Mark Sameth. Named “one of America’s most inspiring rabbis” by The Forward in 2013, Rabbi Mark Sameth has been lauded both for his interfaith work and for his eye-opening ideas about the dual gender of the name of God. As our 2021 Swarsensky scholar, Rabbi Sameth will take us on a journey across three millennia. We’ll start from the archaeological and written evidence about the ancient Israelite priests and arrive at an exploration of the social justice implications of the dual-gendered name of God. He will challenge us to think about how we might best put this learning to use in the furtherance of tikkun olam.
