Temple Shir Tikva Scholar Weekend

Temple Shir Tikva, the Reform Congregation in Wayland, Ma, is hosting a
scholar in residence weekend October 18-20, with Dr. Michael Cook, a renowned
expert in Judeo-Christian studies.

The community is invited to study with Dr. Cook on topics ranging from:
What are the essential differences between Judaism and Christianity? What is
the Christian Bible and how is it relevant to Jews today? What do Christians
know about Jews and what do Jews know about Christianity?



The
weekend begins on Friday, October 18th at 6:15pm with Shabbat Services followed
by a dinner and lecture. Babysitting will be available (please register in advance). It continues at 9:30am on Saturday October 19th
and Sunday October 20th from 9am-11am

The interfaith theme of the weekend responds to Shir Tikva member
requests for more interfaith learning and programs during the Temple’s 36th
Year celebration, 2013-14.     



Dr. Cook is Bronstein Professor of Judeo-Christian Studies at Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, and the only rabbi in
North America with a Chair in New Testament. In 2003, he was one of seven
scholars selected by the Catholic Bishops to assess the accuracy of the advance
script of Mel Gibson's movie Passion of the Christ. Dr. Cook has
received an Excellence in Teaching Award from the Greater Cincinnati Consortium
of Universities.
