Talking about God
Rabbi Goldwasser is teaching an adult education course, "Talking About God," that explores Jewish ideas about God. We will see how, rather than pushing one particular theological model, Judaism has allowed many different ways of understanding God to flourish, creating a Jewish notion of divinity that allows us to see God simultaneously in contradictory ways – author of history, mystical flow of energy, source of redemption, and perfect thoughts thinking themselves. Our next class is on Thursday, February 9, at 7PM on Zoom. |
