Beyond the "Old Man in the Sky"

RADICAL Jewish Views of God

 

Wednesdays, May 27 -  June 17 (4 sessions)
3pm ET / Noon PT
Each session is an hour and 15 minutes

 

 

Think your beliefs—or doubts—about God are "out there?" Think again! In this thought-provoking series, we’ll explore Jewish thinkers who have reimagined God in bold and meaningful ways. Is God a being? A force? A process? An aspect of the universe—or something beyond it?

In four sessions, we'll explore the writings of key Jewish thinkers like Maimonides, Spinoza, Martin Buber, Judith Plaskow, Mordecai Kaplan, Lynn Gottlieb, and more. We’ll challenge traditional assumptions and open up space for personal reflection on what (or who) God might be.
