“What did the people see and hear at Mount Sinai?” asks Rabbi Tow. “I will be exploring commentary, and presenting a visualization, to help us synthesize what our ancestors experienced at the holy mountain.”
“When we pray for God’s presence,” asks Rabbi Woll, “can we expect that God bears presents for us?” Rabbi Woll will examine some or Rabbi Harold Kushner’s ideas about theodicy that he presents in his latest book—Job: What Bad Things Happen to One Person.
