JTS High Holidays Webinars 2024: Seeking the Hiding God: A Personal Theological Essay
With Dr. Arnold Eisen, Chancellor Emeritus and Professor of Jewish Thought, JTS
To mark this period of spiritual atonement and reflection, Dr. Eisen will discuss his rich, original, and moving work and invite us to ask, perhaps for the first time, what we actually believe about ultimate matters of faith and doubt. Those of us searching for ultimate meaning will find reassurance that the search itself can be a source of personal fulfillment, vibrant community, and great joy. The book’s three chapters include a Passover Seder with its theme of past and future redemption; the Yom Kippur liturgy that guides worshippers through the difficult work of atonement, forgiveness and return; and the day-to-day responsibilities, personal and communal, of covenant, mitzvah, and love.
