The Joy of Yiddish defines "bissel" as meaning a little. So pardon my play on the title of the Sondheim song for this post, but the subject is apt since I wanted to let y'all know that next Tuesday, October 9th, Congregation B'nai Jeshurun's Marriage Equality Hevra is sponsoring an evening of study and conversation on the topic:"What Is The Purpose of Marrage? Marriage Equality Through a Jewish Lens."
The lead speakers will be Rabbi Steve Greenberg, author of Wrestling with God and Men: Homosexuality in the Jewish Tradition, as well as the director of the CLAL Diversity Project. Joining him will be Rabbi Brent Spodek, one of this year's Marshall T. Meyer Rabbinic Fellows at B'nai Jeshurun.
Admission is free, and it takes place at the synagogue at 257 West 88th Street in Manhattan from 7pm to 9pm.
