ADULT EDUCATION:
Exploring Faith Through Poetry
Thursday, October 9, 2025
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
At synagogue, we say prayers that assume faith, talking to or about God, regardless of how we picture God in our own minds. Poems about faith give us a lot more leeway to explore that picture however we choose. We can admire, question, doubt, even challenge God directly.... Click here for a complete description of the talk and for a listing of the full year of Continuing Education programs.
