Our first series on the Book of Psalms was so much fun, we’re returning for a second round.
Psalms are among the foundations of Jewish spirituality, and maps of Jewish souls that remain startlingly relevant for our own condition, especially during these Covid times.
The Book of Psalms is a collection of ancient Hebrew poetry that defies easy categorization. Some of its poems are joyful and celebratory; others express anger, fear, loneliness, and doubt. Some of the Psalms were clearly written for public gatherings; others are some of the most personal and intimate reflections to be found in the Bible. Each week we’ll explore one of these masterpieces of the spirit, touching on their authorship, context in the ancient world, and role in Jewish liturgical tradition - but always with an eye on their relevance for spiritual seekers today.
All are welcome to join us for these 60-minute, interactive online sessions, a new four-week series on Thursdays, March 3 through March 31 (no session on March 17 due to Purim), 12:00-1:00 pm Eastern time. Each session is self-contained, so feel free to register even you can’t attend all four.
If you registered for the first series - no need to register a second time, you’re in!
