NY Lecture Series: Faith and Doubt in the Modern World

October 28, 2016 By eJP

hadar-lecture-seriesReaders of eJewish Philanthropy are invited to a very special lecture series presented by Hadar:

We live in “atheological time” – Jews from across the denominational spectrum tend to talk about God in muted tones, if they talk about God at all. At Hadar we aim to ignite a much-needed Jewish conversation about God. Towards that end, we proudly present a provocative new series of public lectures and dialogues – about faith and doubt in light of science; about whether and how the idea of a God who loves can still make sense in the modern world; about Israelis and their (often understated) quest for God; and about what it means to believe in God (tentatively, sometimes tenuously) in a broken world.
