Radical Judaism with Rabbi Adelson  

A stumbling block for many Jews is that the God described in Torah and liturgy is not something we actually experience or can believe in.

Rabbi Arthur Green, one of the leading thinkers and teachers in American Judaism today, offers us a new way to look at Judaism based on a very different theology. After decades exploring how Jewish mysticism can help us make Judaism relevant to modern life, Rabbi Green has captured his fresh perspective in his new book Radical Judaism. Together, we will discuss the book and uncover how we can find more meaning in Judaism, based on a spirituality that makes sense.

Please check for chapter assignments prior to the first class.

This class will meet on Wednesdays, December 1st, 8th and 15th, from 6:30-7:30 PM.
