Fwd: Rabbi to discuss mind, brain and religion

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Rabbi James D. Cohn <rabbi.mailbox@gmail.com>
Date: Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 2:47 PM
Subject: Rabbi to discuss mind, brain and religion
To: Temple <templeisraelwv@gmail.com>

For Immediate Release

 

 

 

Religion: Where Brain Meets Mind?

Instructor:  Rabbi James Cohn, M.A.

December 1 and 8, 7:00-8:30 pm

Temple Israel, 2312 Kanawha Blvd. East, Charleston WV 25311

 

Why did prophecy cease?  When did religious ruminating begin?  And can science help us find the answers?

 

These are questions that will be addressed in an interdisciplinary mini-course offered at Temple Israel in December.

 

"It's strange but true," said Rabbi Jim Cohn of Temple Israel.  "You won't find the word 'mind' in the Old Testament – at least not in Hebrew.  Despite  poor English translations, it's not there."  He added, "What you find a lot of, are prophecies."

 

People in the Hebrew Bible don't talk much about the contents of their minds, said Rabbi Cohn.  But everybody talks about the contents of their ears.

 

"Where did all those divine voices suddenly go?" said Rabbi Cohn. "What induced the switch from hearing to pondering?  And why did the switch happen so quickly?" asked the rabbi, noting the change in biblical vocabulary over a few short centuries.

 

Rabbi Cohn thinks that part of the answer to these questions might be found in the structure of the brain, and in how we understand that structure as a mind. In describing the possible appeal of the subject, he said, "The mind-brain question, and its various expressions in the Bible, should be something that will interest clergy, neurobiologists, psychologists, physicians, lawyers, accountants, painters, homemakers, widget manufacturers, and retired retail salespersons – in short, anyone who has ever thought a thought, and wondered how that little mystery takes place."

 

On two Wednesday nights, December 1 and December 8, from 7:00 to 8:30, in a program open to the public, Rabbi James Cohn will help us explore how our words shape our thoughts about God – and our thoughts about thinking.

 

The program will take place at Temple Israel, 2312 Kanawha Blvd. East, Charleston WV 25311.  It is open to the public and reservations are not required.

Gabriel Project

Sky,

Since I came to the area in July I have had to take over the assistance program here
at Christ Church.  In the process of doing that I have learned about other programs in
the area.  I have been told repeatedly that the Gabriel Project in this are was not up
and running; however, I visited them this morning and discovered that they are.  in an
attempt to get the word out, would you please forward this email to the CARLA group.

The director at the project is Regina Barido.  Number:304-414-4666. Email:
methrovalleygabrielproject@yahoo.com. They do not yet have enough volunteers (HINT!!!)
so they cannot be open every day, all day but they do take folks by apointment.  They
are in the process of looking for churches who could be satellite spots to help
mothers.  For those who may not know, the Gabriel Project helps supply mothers of
young children with whatever they might need from diapers to clothing (including
maternity clothing).  They are housed in the Sacred Heart Annex in downtown
Charleston.
I have copied Regina on this email and will also be sending her info out to the other
assistance programs in the area.

Thank you!
