LOS ANGELES – Following his historic visit to Sinai Temple's Friday Night Live Sabbath service, Pastor Rick Warren has invited Jewish musical innovator and Synagogue 3000 (S3K) Leadership Network member Craig Taubman to participate in services at Saddleback Church in Orange County on Sunday, June 25, at 9:00am and 11:15am.
This Sunday’s appearance marks Taubman's second formal visit to Saddleback, where he will share songs from the Jewish liturgy as part of the worship service, which Warren will lead. Synagogue 3000 has organized a delegation of Los Angeles Jewish leaders to the 11:15am service.
Warren and Taubman first met in June 2005 when Warren addressed the S3K Leadership Network. Taubman and Sinai Temple’s Rabbi David Wolpe then invited the Saddleback Church founder to visit Sinai Temple's nationally acclaimed Jewish seeker service, which Wolpe and Taubman created and co-lead. On June 16, approximately one thousand people came to Sinai's Friday Night Live services to hear Pastor Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, speak and answer questions.
The Shabbat evening began with a traditional Shabbat dinner hosted by Synagogue 3000 President Dr. Ron Wolfson for Warren, his guests, and leaders of the Los Angeles Jewish community. Immediately following the service, Warren and Wolpe engaged in dialogue with an audience of several hundred participants about the need to tackle the enormous challenges of poverty, illiteracy, illness, and hunger that plague the world. According to Wolpe, “Rick Warren's appearance at Friday Night Live was an opportunity for a major spiritual leader to connect to the Jewish community, and for two communities to learn about one another, and the ways in which they can cooperate to promote tikkun olam, the betterment of God's world.”
