Congregation Beth Elohim: Scholar in Residence

Learn with our 2026 Scholar in Residence, Rabbi Moshe Waldoks

Friday, January 30th, Saturday, January 31st, and Sunday, February 1st

Theme for the weekend:  From the Big Book of Jewish Humor to meeting the Dalai Lama — what do Faith and Belief mean?

Reb Moshe is perhaps best known for co-authoring the Big Book of Jewish Humor. But he is also Rabbi Emeritus at Temple Beth Zion in Brookline, where he has served since 1998. At TBZ, Reb Moshe revitalized the community by embracing pluralism, humor, social justice and meditation.

All are invited to the CBE Brotherhood Breakfast. Breakfast starts at 9:00 AM and Reb Moshe speaks about 9:30 AM: “A Short History of Jewish Humor.”

While CBE is pleased to offer this program at virtually no cost to participants, we hope you will consider making a donation of any amount to help our Adult Education Committee continue to offer programming with such esteemed guests as Reb Moshe.  You will have the option to make a donation when you sign up below.

For those attending the Sunday Brotherhood Breakfast in person, who are not members of the CBE Brotherhood, there is a $10 charge.
