“Judaism, Past and Present”

with Rabbi Niles Goldstein, Rev. Susan Panttaja, Pamela Blatt, and Brian Shaw

For many of us, our knowledge of Judaism comes primarily from two sources: Biblical stories and psalms, and news about world events. Yet modern Judaism, as lived by people in this community and communities around the world, is quite different from what we may imagine. Today, guest speaker Niles Goldstein, Senior Rabbi of Congregation Beth Shalom of Napa Valley, will speak about modern rabbinical Judaism and answer your questions.

Rabbi Goldstein is an experienced and dynamic Reform rabbi and educator, and he is also the award-winning author or editor of ten books. He was the founding rabbi of The New Shul, an innovative, independent synagogue in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, which he served for over a decade. Prior to his arrival at Beth Shalom Napa in 2017, Rabbi Niles worked in a variety of congregational, interfaith, and academic settings while based in his native Chicago.
