After the Darkness: Revisiting Post-Holocaust Theology + Ethics


Join Rabbi Shai Held of Hadar for this 3-part learning series. The experiences of loneliness, abandonment, and devastation that so many people are feeling so deeply right now – all of these are at the heart of post-Holocaust theology. This series will explore the main currents of post-Holocaust Jewish theology through thinkers like Richard Rubenstein, Eliezer Berkovits, Yitz Greenberg, Emil Fackenheim, and Melissa Raphael; and investigate how philosophers of religion grapple with the problem of evil. But rather than just analyze their thought, it will also ask what Jewish theology in the present moment can and should say - and can't and shouldn't say - about grappling with God in the wake of the Shoah.

Classes will be held virtually: Mondays, Oct. 23, 30, Nov. 6 @ 7-8:30pm.
