Tent: SapienStudy (Virtual, bi-weekly)

Jul 1, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

SapienStudy Tent

If the unemployed philosopher’s guild had a book group, it would be SapienStudy at Temple Rodef Shalom.  We began with Harari’s Sapiens, continued with Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel and will now begin discussing Liberalism and Its Discontents by Francis Fukuyama.  Classical liberalism is in a state of crisis. Developed in the wake of Europe’s wars over religion and nationalism, liberalism is a system for governing diverse societies, which is grounded in fundamental principles of equality and the rule of law. It emphasizes the rights of individuals to pursue their own forms of happiness free from encroachment by government.  The group meets twice a month to share ideas on the books or article chosen by the group. 

This quarter’s meetings:
Wed, Jul 1
Wed, Jul 15
Wed, Jul 29
Wed, Aug 12
Wed, Aug 26
Wed, Sep 9
Wed, Sep 23

Temple Rodef Shalom is a big place. But, we know how to bring it down to “fun size.” Do you like to take a hike while learning about local history? Do you love watching good films…and then critiquing them with friends? Are you into researching your family genealogy? Do you use the word “aperture” more than once a day? Then, join a Tent – our small groups initiative aimed at gathering together Temple members who enjoy the same interests, hobbies, sports and more!

Every month, be on the lookout for a congregational email with all the latest intel on our Tents. Don’t see something you like? Then, put a stake in the ground and claim your own Tent.

If you’re a TRS member and want to join a Tent or just want to hear more, please email Program Associate Becky Liu-Katz for more information. She’ll be glad to help!

Do you have an idea for a new tent? Please click here to let us know.

Tents are for TRS Members and ECC Families only.
