When Bad Things Happen To Good People
Rabbi David Woznica
October 5, 1:30 to 2:15 p.m.
An opportunity to explore this most important dilemma. How do we reconcile a good, just and all-powerful God in a world where good people suffer? We will grapple with this issue, sharing personal challenges, while hearing both biblical and contemporary perspectives that can shape a meaningful response.
Jonah
Rabbi Ron Stern and Rabbi Josh Knobel
October 5, 2:30 to 3:15 p.m.
Discover ancient humor, satire, and ethical principles in the Book of Jonah. Traditionally read on Yom Kippur afternoon, the story of Jonah artfully reveals literary genius as it speaks to the power of repentance and the value of forgiveness. Together we’ll unpack the many layers in a story that is far richer than a mere account of a human who is swallowed by a fish.
Psalms and Meditation
Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback, Rabbi Sari Laufer, and Lauren Roth
October 5, 3:30 to 4:15 p.m.
Join us for meditation, song, and study as we prepare with hope for achieving our goal of personal transformation on this sacred day. We will combine the study of key psalms and texts related to the Day of Atonement with a few melodies and some moments of silence as we reflect together on the power of this time.
