Lunch & Learn: Whose Wall is it? A Look into Issues of Religious Pluralism and How it Impacts Women in Israel

From faith to fashion, kitchen to kabbalah, motherhood, marriage to miracles and mindfulness, traveling to transcendence and health and healing, Rabbi Lynnda Targan is a new and distinct female face in the American Rabbinate and a compelling voice in the contemporary spiritual international marketplace. After a successful career as a communications and public relations expert, oral historian and columnist at The Jewish Exponent in Philadelphia, Rabbi Targan was ordained at the Academy for Jewish Religion in Riverdale, New York in 2003.

Rabbi Targan has been involved with Federation on a number of levels for several decades. She is a Lion of Judah and serves on the executive committee of Women of Vision, a division of Women’s Philanthropy under the auspices of The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, and is a frequent speaker on a variety of subjects. She has also accompanied a Women’s Federation mission to Germany and Israel, where she led a Yizkor Memorial service at Track 17, Grunewald S-Bahn Station in Berlin and led various services for the group in Israel. She joyfully served as the Rabbinic presence for an “Israel 60 Mission,” and conducted Shabbat and Havdalah services, as well as led services at the Valley of the Communities at Yad Vashem.

Program is $12, including lunch. Men and women welcome. Please RSVP to 610-821-5500 or mailbox@jflv.org.

Lunch & Learn programs are a community education initiative coordinated by the Women’s Division of the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.
