A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Dr. Mira Neshama Weil
Event Co-Sponsored by Rodef Shalom
About The Event:
At a time in winter where we’re invited to trust the silent work of nature under the earth before the explosion of spring, this session is an opportunity to revisit the idea of faith (emunah) in the Jewish tradition. Not just to check in with where we are at with our own emuna and relationship (or not ) with ‘God,’ but also to explore our idea of faith. What if it was other than what we took it to be? Looking at some Jewish texts and familiar prayer, In this session, we’ll play with the idea of seeing faith, a sometimes loaded topic, in a different light.
