A Discussion of Rabbi Donniel Hartman's book
Putting God Second with Rabbi Brusso
Religion is not always a force for good in the world. Must one believe in God in
order to be good? Especially when it seems that so much bad is done in the name of God? Is there an approach to God that honors my doubts and questions? Join us in a discussion of Rabbi Donniel Hartman's new book;
Putting God Second.
If you are interested-even if you think you might be able to attend only one or two of the dates-please email
ltavares@bettorah.org
so we can add you to our email list. Or feel free to just show up.
