Grades 6-7:

“God, Are You There?” – 4:30-5:15 p.m.   Materials Fee: None
Instructor: Rabbi Steven Abraham
Does God have a long white beard and sit on a throne? Does God really keep a list of all the good and bad people? This class will explore how we understand God today by drawing on a wide variety of material, from rabbinic texts to musical lyrics. We will examine the role God played, according to the Tanakh, in the creation of the world and what it means for us to be “b’tzelem Elohim” (created in God’s image). This course will empower students to walk away with their own unique thoughts on God.
