Platform: In-person
Location: Temple Or Rishon
Instructor: Rabbi Alan Rabishaw 
Join us as we explore Parashat Nitzvavim, the classic Yom Kippur morning Torah portion. We will find inspiration and purpose as we read Moses’ reminder that all of us are part of God’s covenant, and that each of us is called to “choose life,” walk in God’s ways, do God’s commandments and open our hearts to God and to each other.
 
 
 
 
Wednesday, September 18
 
10:00AM - Great Courses
Platform: Zoom
We continue with lectures 7 and 8 in our course on God vs. Gods.
Lecture 7: Women, Sex, and Sexuality. Anxiety about offspring abounded in ancient societies; so, it should be no surprise that fertility goddesses played a major role in their religions. Professor Garland delves into the world of women and sex to meet some of the prominent female deities in world religions. Our exploration also includes a rich discussion of the role of women in society throughout history.
Lecture 8: Intolerance and Persecution. There is a reason polite conversation eschews talk of religion and politics. World history is replete with violence and persecution of one religion against another. Here Professor Garland will examine the darker side of what human beings have done—and continue to do—in the name of a deity.
We will present two lectures each week, with time for discussion between each lecture.
Questions about the lectures can be directed to Saul Rapkin.
