Beyond the "Old Man in the Sky"
Radical Jewish Views of God with Rabbi Micah Streiffer
Think your beliefs (or lack thereof) are "out there?" Think again! We will study some of the "radical” thinkers who have helped transform the way Jews envision and relate to 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 entirely? How can we relate to the traditional words of the prayerbook if we don't exactly believe in what they say? We'll get up-close-and-personal with the writings of some of Judaism’s boldest thinkers, and explore our own beliefs along the way.
