Shabbat Morning Moadon

Saturdays | 10:00 AM | Lamed Center and via Zoom*

On Saturdays with no special events, Temple Emanuel’s Rabbi Mark Cohen hosts a casual moadon, where we will discuss Torah, Judaism, and everything in between. Moadon (מועדון) means “lounge” – but the root of the word is knowledge. Pronounced: moe-ah-DOAN (rhymes with tone, phone and groan).

*Moadon will be held in-person on the first Saturday of each month in the Lamed Center, located on the second floor of the Education Building. All others will be online via Zoom.

From the rabbi

Jews set up three things when they establish a community: a cemetery, a school, and a synagogue. One is to handle the inevitable, one is to provide for the future and one is to gather. And gather is what we do. For all of the cycles of life and the holy days and moments of our communal life.

We are very proud of our Jewish history and community here in Winston-Salem. We welcome you to our website and would love to welcome you to our physical site as well if you are in search of exploring Jewish life here in the Twin City.

–Rabbi Mark Cohn
