New Monday Night Class with Mark Wagshul begins this week  Join Mark Wagshul every other Monday from 8 - 8:45 pm for "A Deep Dive into the Prophets: The Book of Samuel."We all know many of the stories about the prophet Samuel, King David and King Saul, especially the more well-known ones read on Shabbat morning. In this class, we will take a deep dive into the Book of Samuel for a re-introduction to these Biblical characters, the history upon which they stood, the less well-known stories which helped shape them, and hopefully a deeper understanding about this very interesting period of our Biblical history.
