3 sessions: Monday evenings, July 11, 18, and 25, at 7:00 pm Eastern time.
Hope is a theological stance, and sometimes it’s a difficult one. In this 3-part summer course, we’ll look into Jewish sources—Biblical, classical, and modern thinkers—to uncover how our people has managed to keep a vision of hope even in times that have seemed bleak.
At a time when the climate crisis seems almost insurmountable… and both American and Israeli democracies seem to be unravelling… and the Covid pandemic seems to be with us forever… and antisemitism and racism seem to be unalterable facts of modern life… Is hope a stubborn act of obtuseness? Or is it the ultimate expression of faith? Or, perhaps, honest hope entails something more nuanced?
If you’re looking for some inspiration from the foundations of Jewish tradition, join us for this special mini-course. All are welcome!
