Join us for a discussion of God is Here – Reimagining the Divine—the fourth in our series, Modern Jewish Voices: Community + Conversation!
Toba Spitzer’s God Is Here is a transformative exploration of the idea of God, offering new paths to experiencing the realm of the sacred.
Most of us are hungry for a system of meaning to make sense of our lives, yet traditional religion too often leaves us unsatisfied. Rabbi Spitzer understands this problem firsthand, and knows that too often it is traditional ideas of the deity―he’s too big, too impersonal, and too unbelievable―that get in the way. In God Is Here, she argues that whether we believe in God or fervently disbelieve, what we are actually disagreeing about is not God at all, but a metaphor of a Big Powerful Person that limits our understanding and our spiritual lives.
