Beginning this week exclusively on Radio Chavura, we launch our annual series on preparing for the High Holidays.
\\nThis year we are proud to feature another prominent group of Colorado spiritual leaders, starting with Rabbi Evette Lutman, the spiritual leader of B\\u2019nai Havurah, the Denver Reconstructionist Congregation that serves more than 240 households.
\\nB\\u2019nai Havurah is an egalitarian and participatory community, open to multiple perspectives and forms of religious expression.
\\nRabbi Lutman, who is affectionately called \\u201cRabbi Evette\\u201d by her congregants, was hired in July 2010 upon her rabbinic ordination for the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, PA.\\xa0 She has a law degree from Ohio State University.
\\nOur interview with Rabbi Lutman was conducted in June 2014, just prior to her departure for Israel.\\xa0 The rabbi is passionate about Israel and urges her congregants to visit and stay engaged.
\\nRabbi Lutman discusses her personal and congregational preparations for the High Holidays, which begin this year on Wednesday evening, September 24th. \\xa0
\\nIn future segments, we\\u2019ll feature Rabbi Daniel Rapp, visiting professor of Talmud and Associate Dean of Students at Yeshiva University (East Denver Orthodox Synagogue); Rabbi Raphael Leban, The Jewish Experience; and Rabbi Brian Field, Judaism Your Way.
\\nAlthough the rabbis represent a variety of approaches and Jewish denominations, each rabbi shares insights certain to make 5775 relevant and inspirational.\\xa0
