What does it mean to read the Torah as sacred text? Can it still be sacred if we feel troubled by what we read? How do we reckon with the troubling parts that are wholly irreconcilable to our sense of the sacred? Join Rabbinic Intern Beck as we examine the implications of Torah-as-sacred and what it means for how we encounter trouble in the text, and trouble in our world. Together we will explore strategies for engaging with difficult passages, consider the relevance of these texts today, and explore how the shadow side of Torah might yet shape our understandings of faith, justice, and community. Whether you are seeking to deepen your relationship with Torah or confront its contradictions, this workshop series invites you to reflect on the sacred, the troubling, and everything in between. No Hebrew, text study experience, or faith in sacred text required.
Sorry, Registration has ended.
