with Temple Emanuel member and Hebrew College Rabbinical student Jamie Stolper

Monday evenings | 7:30 – 9:00 pm
6 sessions : Mar 1, 8, 15, 22, Apr 5 and 12

Did you know that when the traditional morning liturgy was first established, one psalm from the Hebrew Bible was selected to be recited each morning at the end of morning prayers? In this course, we will study these psalms of praise and pathos, of the connection between faith and ethical conduct, of the overriding importance of justice. We will examine their connection to the theme of Creation and probe their implications for social justice and an ideal, ethical society, then and now. Participants may come up with their own selection of seven psalms for the week, based on a personal theme.
