SUMMARY:Are you there God? It’s Us\, Mishkan
DESCRIPTION:Do you believe in God? What do you believe about God? For many of us\, the images and ideas we were taught as children no longer hold up — yet we still long for language\, wisdom\, and frameworks that speak to our adult lives. In this new learning series\, we’ll explore the wide spectrum of Jewish thought on God — from belief to doubt\, mysticism to modern philosophy — and begin to articulate our own evolving theologies. This space is open to theists of all stripes: believers\, atheists\, agnostics\, and everyone in between. Together we’ll wrestle\, reflect\, and create our own language of faith and meaning in conversation with Jewish tradition. \n\n\n\n\nRegister
