The Jewish People's journey through history began with an encounter between a man, Abraham, and an unseeable God. This encounter would not only change Abraham. It gave birth to an entirely new People and their journey that introduced to human history an entirely new way of thinking about the world and our place in it. The Bible and rabbinic literature are filled with stories about how encounters with God changed the individuals who experienced it and impacted the future direction of the Jewish People's impactful journey through history. 

Through a combination of lecture, small group text study, and class discussion, Rabbi Grossman will lead participants in an exploration of seminal biblical and rabbinic texts that shaped and continues to serve as the foundation of and inspiration for Jewish faith, ethics, and cohesion.
