How did G-d come to be? Is G-d a He, a She, or a They? Does G-d have feelings? If G-d has foreknowledge of all events, do we have free choice? Is there a place in Judaism for doubts about G-d? These are just some of the twenty-five questions addressed in My G-d: Defining the Divine.

Jewish culture and the Jewish people’s outlook on life are indelibly shaped by the classic Jewish understanding of G-d. My G-d: Defining the Divine is a one-of-a-kind course that brings to light the Jewish understanding of G-d, from which Judaism and Jewish identity inevitably flow.
