  • 6:45pm — “Iron Darshan” with Rabbi Raysh Weiss — an activity based on “Iron Chef.” Participants compete in pairs; in each round, the pairs are given three phrases as prompts (their “ingredients”) and then have several minutes to, as a pair, create a drash/short sermon. Then they come back, deliver their drashot, and are judged by both the audience and a panel of judges.

  • 8:45pm — Keynote speaker Rabbi Dan Judson on “From Boston to Jerusalem: A Short History of American Zionism”

The evening will conclude with a festival Ma’ariv service and the reading of the 10 Commandments. Also available via livestream.
