Spooky Judaism

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

Step into the shadows of Jewish tradition, where nightmares whisper across the centuries.  Together, we’ll unearth stories that are as unsettling as they are enchanting.  What do these dark tales, from the Talmud to our own day, teach us about confronting danger and encountering wonder?  Prepare for a night that will linger long after the lights go out.

Rabbi Josh Breindel is delighted to return to Lehrhaus. Serving as the rabbi of Congregation Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley, he holds Masters degrees in Jewish Studies and Jewish Education from Hebrew College, where he was ordained in 2009. As “The Rabbi on the Radio”, he offers weekly reflections and music on Chagigah (WERS). As “The Sci-Fi Rabbi”, he blends ancient Jewish thought with modern speculative fiction in sermons, articles, and an open Jewish F&SF book group at Beth El. He can often be found singing Simon & Garfunkel, wandering the cool, green hills of MetroWest with his wife and children.
