BEYOND THE “OLD MAN IN THE SKY” - RADICAL JEWISH VIEWS OF GOD - A CLASS SERIES
 

Taught by Rabbi Micah Streiffer
Thursday evenings from 7:00pm – 8:30pm: October 26, November 2, 9, 16
In-person and virtual.
 
Think your beliefs (or lack thereof) are “out there?” Think again! In this series, we will study “radical” thinkers whose ideas have transformed the way modern Jews think about God. Is God a being? A process? An idea? A part of the world or apart from the world? Is God found in relationships, nature, morality, social action, or somewhere else? How can we relate to the traditional words of the prayerbook if we don’t exactly believe in what they say? We’ll enter into conversation with the writings of Maimonides, Spinoza, Martin Buber, Judith Plaskow, Mordecai Kaplan, Margaret Moers Wenig, and others. And we’ll explore our own beliefs along the way.
