Thursday, September 28 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Zoom San Diego, CA United States

It is at times of great rupture or great joy that we are often faced with the fragility of life. And when faced with our mortality and transience of our time on earth we will frequently inquire of its meaning. Once a year on the festival of Sukkot we are forced into conditions of fragility and transience. Moving outside our homes to a temporary structure and remembering our journey in the wilderness conditions us towards asking questions of meaning. Two common responses to these existential…

The Wolf Hunt: A Novel

Tuesday, October 3 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
San Diego, CA United States

Israeli author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen’s fourth book, The Wolf Hunt, sits somewhere between a novel of ideas, a thriller and a character study – a big old-fashioned work of literary fiction in a world where the trend is for the inward-looking. It opens with a bang, as Lilach (known as Leela) Shuster, an Israeli-American living with her husband, Mikhael, in California’s Silicon Valley, tells us that her son Adam, 16, has been accused of killing a Black boy from his school. “That’s…

The God of Possibilities God, Human Freedom and the Obligation to Heal the World

Thursday, October 5 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

The result is a contemporary notion of God that can nurture personal humility, the development of an ethical personality and a commitment “to do that which is right and good”. Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller recently celebrated his fortieth year of…
