Throughout Jewish history, the Jewish people faced a number of situations that demanded resilience in the face of great difficulty. From our beginnings as a people enslaved in Egypt to years spent wandering in the wilderness, from the destruction of not only one but two of our spiritual homes, to exile after exile under foreign rule, much of Jewish history has required the ability to persevere in the face of uncertainty and loss. In our four sessions together, we’re going to focus on four specific moments in Jewish history that demanded resilience.
This course, designed by Rabbi Avi Strausberg, is presented by Hadar’s Project Zug, with which B’nai Israel is a partner group.
