SUMMARY:Adult Ed: Jewish Indonesia Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Kunin will examine the diverse kehilot that comprise one 
 of the most isolated re-emerging Jewish communities in the world. Descende
 d from many different Jewish diasporas\, Indonesia’s Jews span the archi
 pelago from Sumatra to Papua Indonesia. Each of their communities is uniqu
 e\, with its own history and culture\, yet together they form a vibrant wh
 ole\, creating a Judaism which is absolutely authentic\, yet at the same t
 ime uniquely Indonesian.\n\nRabbi David Kunin graduated from Brandeis Univ
 ersity with a degree in Medieval History and then attended the Jewish Theo
 logical Seminary of America\, where he was ordained as a Rabbi and receive
 d an MA in Judaic Studies. Rabbi Kunin has served communities as rabbi in 
 Glasgow (Scotland)\, Elmira\, San Diego\, Edmonton\, and Tokyo (Japan). He
  now is rabbi of Congregation Beth Davud in Saratoga\, CA. Rabbi Kunin has
  a strong commitment to Jewish learning\, and to a strong laity that play 
 a central role in the religious leadership of the congregation. He believe
 s that Jewish learning and growth is a life-long process. He also believes
  that spiritual growth\, as we build our relationship with the community a
 nd God should be a continuous part of Jewish life. Rabbi Kunin is a strong
  believer in the importance of good and harmonious relations between peopl
 e from diverse religious communities. Interfaith relations have therefore 
 been a continuous mark of his rabbinate. He served as the Chair of the Sou
 thern Tier Interfaith\n\nCoalition (Elmira\, NY)\, where he created the Wa
 lking Together program\, and was long time board member and president of t
 he Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education and Action. He received the Al
 berta Centennial Medal in recognition of his community work. Rabbi Kunin h
 as been working with the emerging Jewish Community of Indonesia for ten ye
 ars and has spent more than 3 months in the archipelago.\n\nREGISTER HERE
