Artist/Scholar in Residence Weekends

Temple Jeremiah welcomes artists and scholars from all walks of life to help enrich our learning experiences. These educators help expand our knowledge of Jewish life by complimenting teachings from our clergy and our educational themes each year.

The Temple Jeremiah Scholar in Residence weekends are graciously supported by the Bill and Norma Brown Fund for Lifelong Learning.

STANLEY C. GOLDER INTERFAITH INITIATIVE

As a Reform congregation, Temple Jeremiah has always proudly welcomed interfaith couples and families as well as people choosing Judaism into our community.

The Stanley C. Golder Interfaith Initiative promotes understanding between faiths and embraces the unifying spirituality among all religions. Every year this outstanding program presents a prestigious speaker or group of speakers to address topics of religion, politics and international understanding. These programs are hosted in partnership with other local religious institutions including Christ Church, Church of the Holy Comforter, Muslim Community Center, Muslim Education Center, New Trier Multifaith Alliance, Northfield Community Church, St. Philip the Apostle Church, U.S. Bahá’í National Center, Winnetka Congregational Church, Winnetka Covenant Church, and Winnetka Presbyterian Church.

We hope to resume this wonderful program in 2021! For more information about the Interfaith Initiative, please contact the temple office at 847.441.5760 or contact Danny Glassman.

ANTIRACISM PROGRAMMING

In response to the growing national conversation about racism and institutionalized inequality, Temple Jeremiah has created an antiracism resource guide and designed a schedule of antiracism programming for the coming year.

We invite you to attend our monthly antiracism programs and to join us in a temple-wide conversation about diversity, equality, and inclusion.
