Responses to Suffering
Fridays, April 20, 27 and May 4, 11 and 18 at Noon
Through the long and at times tragic history of the Jewish people,
prophets, sages and rabbis have sought to understand the nature of
suff ering. When burdens out weigh the blessings how have we tried
to explain, cope and sustain ourselves and each other. Rabbi James
Prosnit will look at classic and
contemporary Jewish texts
and show how comfort and
understanding has come from
the wisdom of the ages. |
