Problem(s) of Meaning: What the Wandering Path of a Wayward Rabbi Means for You
Feb. 17 & Feb. 24, 7pm - on Zoom
In this memoir-as-teaching Rabbi Josh will share his journey from rabbi to non-religious & non-observant Jew as a way to examine what it means to be Jewish in the modern world. Weaving together theology, personal narrative, philosophy, Jewish stories and core texts, Rabbi Josh will explore the challenges we face in forging an authentic 21st century Jewish identity.
