Rabbi, May I? Modern Responsa
Wednesday, Jan 21st 10:00a to 11:30a
Wednesdays, 10 - 11:30 AM, KTI Library Ever since Abraham’s famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai, the Vilna Gaon and the Ba’al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam Rabbis . . . the list goes on. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket l’shem shamayim, “an argument for the sake of heaven.” Beyond their historical importance, what makes these disputations so compelling is that nearly all of them, regardless of their epochs, are still being argued. The parade of characters spanning three millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation reflects the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges. This series will examine Jewish responses to exile from the biblical period to our modern day. Considering texts from all genres of Jewish literary creativity, we will explore how the realities and iterpretaions Join as we re-open these timeless debates that lead us to the core of 3,000 years of Jewish conversation. • Justice: Abraham vs. God (October 19) • Holiness and Authority: Moses vs. Korah (November 9) • Inclusion: The Five Daughters vs. the Twelve Tribes (November 30) • Accountability and Morality: David vs. Nathan (December 21) • Resistance: Ben Zakkai vs. the Zealots (January 18) • Law: Hillel vs. Shammai (February 15) • Spirituality: The Vilna Gaon vs. the Baal Shem Tov (March 15) • Boundaries: Spinoza vs. the Amsterdam Rabbis (April 19) • Religious Evolution: Geiger vs. Hirsch vs. Frankel (May 10) • Zionism: Herzl vs. Wise (May 31)

Wrestling with God
Wednesday, Jan 21st 8:00p to 9:30p
Wrestling with God Wednesdays, 8-9:30 PM Congregants’ homes TBA We need to talk about God. And about how we talk, and don’t talk, about God. It’s a big topic, maybe the biggest. This offering invites adult learners into compassionate inquiry, deepening their relationship to Jewish text through collective exploration. Using the album s*ngs ab-ut g?d [https://open.spotify.com/album/6JEY2AN6awAxNfWwmXX460] by Jewish educator Eliana Light as a starting point, this series blends music, Hebrew text study, and open-ended questions to help participants examine their own connections to the divine. This is sacred work. It’s not about getting it right. It’s about showing up with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to join the long lineage of Jews who wrestle with God. Each session stands alone, but we’d love to have a consistent group as much as possible. Dates: September 10: skyman October 22: shadows November 19: in the silence December 10: if only January 21: lead me back February 11: three steps March 11: beyONEd April 29: the mountains May 20: the name June 17: I rise
