Evening with the Rabbis offers educational opportunity
Rabbi Yonatan Hambourger
From staff reports
ASHBURN — Southwest Georgians are invited to learn more about the Jewish faith, its tenets and their meanings from Torah Observant (Hassidic tradition) Rabbis Yonatan Hambourger and Chaim Markovits representing Chabad of Rural Georgia, when they come to Ashburn Nov. 20 to discuss those topics and more.
An Evening with the Rabbis event is free to all who wish to come. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Turner County Civic Center conference room. The event is sponsored by Spring of Life/Manantial de Vida church in Ashburn.
Parking is on the side of and behind the Civic Center. The main parking lot is closed as new school construction is under way.
“We travel across rural Georgia teaching classes and meeting people, mostly Christians, who want to know more about the wisdom of the Torah,” Hambourger said. “I have discovered that there is a great deal that Christians and Jews share in common. We are looking forward to coming to share and discuss with the people of Ashburn.”
