Parashat Hashavua: In God's Wilderness

Taught by: Rabbi Amy Kalmanofsky
Thursday, 5:15-6:30pm

The wilderness is at once a place of revelation and punishment.  Studying the weekly parashah relating Israel's journey in the wilderness, we will examine the way wilderness is portrayed and experienced and consider its potency as sacred landscape and religious metaphor. This course is an elective.
