What in God’s name is sustaining us in this time?  What is bringing us joy, deeper meaning, life purpose, comfort in distress, optimism in the future? We will discuss these questions against the backdrop of the 2018 book A Life of Meaning: Embracing Reform Judaism’s Sacred Path, a collection of writings by Reform rabbis and scholars that stretches our minds and opens our hearts to the deepest questions of our existence, right now.  Part theology, part ritual, part reflection, this class is open to all.  You do not need to read the book to participate (though you’re welcome to purchase / read the book if you’d like!).
