THIS I BELIEVE: City Congregation Members Join the Conversation – Round Four
For years on NPR, and in the 1950s on Edward R. Murrow's radio show, celebrities and ordinary people have participated in an extraordinary conversation about their core values. More than 60,000 of these three-minute talks – ranging in title from There Is No God (by Penn Gillette) to An Idea of Service to Our Fellow Man (by Albert Einstein) to Be Cool to the Pizza Delivery Dude – are now collected on the This I Believe website (thisibelieve.org).
In our program an eclectic group of City Congregation members will offer their own three-minute reflections. Moderated by Carol Sternhell, TCC member and professor at the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. This was such a successful program in previous years that we are repeating it again this year.
The City Congregation holds Shabbat celebrations twice a month on Friday evenings at 7:30 PM at the 14th Street Y (344 East 14th Street) in Manhattan. Each Shabbat includes a 40-minute humanistic service and a presentation by a guest speaker or TCC members on a Jewish cultural topic or current issue, followed by a pot-luck dessert. Three times a year we gather at 6:30pm for a catered dinner before the service and program. Guests are always welcome. Childcare is available for children 11 and younger.
All dates and programs are subject to change. To confirm events and for more information, contact the office at 212-213-1002 or [email protected].
