Jewish Perspectives on God

Jews rarely talk about God. As the presenter notes, “I once offered a class called God Talk and no one came.” Yet throughout history, rabbis, philosophers, theologians and others have expressed a wide range of Jewish perspectives on the nature of God. During this course, participants will explore topics including God as creator and questions surrounding evil, God as a personal presence versus an impersonal force, God as redeemer and God as lawgiver. This discussion offers an opportunity to examine the diversity and depth of Jewish thought on one of history’s most enduring subjects.
