February 12, 2017 @ 2:15 pm - 3:45 pm
We’re back, with more evidence that Jewish tradition provides guidance for all aspects of life, including much that is not exactly “family friendly”! Last year we looked at surprisingly sexy texts from the bible and Talmud. This year, we’ll see how rabbis in the Middle Ages struggled to reconcile piety with the practices of the people. And we’ll take a look at how the Jewish mystical tradition balanced the ascetic and the erotic.Join us for this tour of Jewish history and thought through a particularly fascinating lens!
