PROGRAMS FOR 2011-12

Dedicated to the belief that there should be more to Sunday Brunch than Bagels and Lox.

Pull up a chair at the most spirited table in town—The Rebbe's Table at City Winery's Klezmer Brunch.

Join Rabbi Dan Ain as he holds court with an eclectic group of artists and thinkers, tackling the hard questions in an easy-going setting. Ideas fly, controversy erupts, laughter prevails.

After an hour or so of discussion, the music, performed by an amazing roster of Klezmer musicians, kicks in. Add to the mix one of the best brunches around, and you've got a Sunday morning that's worth getting out of bed for!

It's Friday night and the weekend has begun. So has Shabbat, the original way to "kiss the week goodbye!" If discussing the big questions over a cold one sounds like your kind of spiritual experience (pun intended), join The New Shul's Rabbi Darby Leigh as we search for the Sabbath at a downtown bar in Manhattan. And the beer's on us!

At this table there's more than one way to unroll the Torah.

Whether you've studied Torah all your life or have never read a word, you'll find plenty to talk about at The New Shul's weekly Torah Schmooze.

Here's how it works:

• Each week we send out an email with a broad variety ofsuggested readings and/or videos relating to the coming week's Torah portion, as well as a link to the Torah portion itself. If you'd like to receive these materials, email us at torahschmooze@newshul.org.
• Check them out. See what you think.
• Then, bring your ideas and opinions -- controversial, conservative or contemplative –- to Le Pain Quotidian's communal table, where you'll join Schmoozemeister Aaron Seeskin and a group of intrepid questioners for a lively and provocative discussion.

Free! No prior experience, knowledge or belief required.
