Our weekly series on the Book of Psalms is back for the summer!
Psalms are among the foundations of Jewish spirituality and maps of the Jewish soul. And they remain startlingly relevant for our own condition. This collection of ancient Hebrew poetry defies easy categorization: some of the poems are joyful and celebratory; others express fear, anger, loneliness, and doubt. Some were written for public gatherings; others are among the most personal and intimate reflections in all of Biblical literature.
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 liturgy - but always with an eye one their relevance for spiritual seekers today.
All are welcome to join us for these 60-minute, interactive online sessions, a new five-week series on Wednesdays, starting June 22, 12:00-1:00 pm Eastern time. Each session is self-contained, so feel free to register even if you can’t attend all five.
