Each week\nwe’ll read a short section and come together to unpack the ideas\, ask big\nquestions\, and connect Jewish wisdom to our lives today. No background\nrequired—just curiosity and a willingness to read and think together. Come\nread with us! \n**When Bad Things Happen to Good People**\n _July 14\, 21 & 28_\nPresented by: Rabbi Jamie Starr\nJoin us for a learning session exploring Harold Kushner’s classic When Bad\nThings Happen to Good People.

As we begin to look toward a new year\, the High Holy\nDays\, and the t’shuvah (repentance) of Yom Kippur\, reading this book together\nis a wonderful opportunity to reflect on life’s most essential spiritual\nquestions. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/15789 URL:https://cincyjewfolk.com/event/tuesdays-with-torah-read-with-me-9/ LOCATION:Wise Center 8329 Ridge Road\, Cincinnati CATEGORIES:Adults,Jewish Learning ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cincyjewfolk.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Read_with_Me12-GId4QP.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Wise Learning":MAILTO:clawler@wisetemple.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260811T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260811T130000 DTSTAMP:20260509T081258 CREATED:20260507T195122Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260509T112153Z UID:10003483-1786449600-1786453200@cincyjewfolk.com SUMMARY:Tuesdays with Torah | Read with Me DESCRIPTION:Some books are worth slowing down for.
