New York Lectures for the Public

Natan Slifkin

Jan 19, 2011

On Sunday, February 13th I will be speaking at the Bridge Shul in Washington Heights:

4pm (Real time, not Jewish time): How to Become a Heretic: Defining the Boundaries of Faith
5.10pm Mincha-Maariv
5.45pm Shaking the Heavens: Rabbinic Responses to Astronomical Revolutions
Entrance donation: $10 for one presentation, $15 for both.

The previous Sunday, February 6th, is the Superbowl. As an Englishman I'm not even sure what that is, but apparently it is something of great importance to Americans which prevents me from giving a lecture that evening. However I am open to giving lectures in the morning or afternoon. If someone is interested in arranging it, please email me at zoorabbi@zootorah.com. Alternatively, I can arrange it myself for Queens or Brooklyn, if someone wants to be my driver for the afternoon (I will be staying in Woodmere).

One more thing - if there are any reptile enthusiasts living in the Teaneck region, please be in touch!
