Women's Rosh Chodesh - Oct.

Self, Identity and Consciousness in the Torah: The Commentary of Dr. Aviva Gottlieb Zornberg

One of the most unique features of Judaism is its invitation to engage in life-long dialogue with our sacred texts and traditions.  Wresting with the text by exploring the questions it raises about faith, doubt, loyalty, love, community, identity and morality, is a hallmark of Jewish piety for leaders and lay people alike. Adding her voice to generations of master teachers and scholars of Torah, Aviva Gottlieb Zornberg plumbs the layers of biblical narratives for their insights into human nature and consciousness.  Combining literary analysis with psychoanalytic thought as well as rabbinic and Hassidic teachings, Zornberg uncovers the richness of the Bible and the interplay between self, family, community and God.
