Something for every age, every background, every schedule
Can We Still Be Optimistic About the Future?
This course does not treat redemption as fantasy or escape. It asks what Judaism’s vision of a healed world reveals about our relationships, our anxieties, our ambitions, our habits and our souls. We will explore original Jewish texts to discover what a redeemed future teaches us about the present, and what a transformed world might reveal about being truly human.
