“The Fire Within Us” was the name of the campaign that re-envisioned and reconstructed our congregation following a devastating fire that ruined our previous spiritual home in 2009. The Fire Within Us is also the title of a book, co-edited by Ezra Match, Lara Match and Rabbi Ron Muroff. The presenters in this series are among those who shared reflections in that book. Please join us for this interactive and personal exploration of Torah and our lives.
