Delve Deeper Adam and Eve in the Jewish Tradition 

Thursdays - January 19 and 26, February 2, 9, 16, 23, March 2, 9, 16, 23 

Time: 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

As the first human beings, Adam and Eve became for later Jews and Christians a rich source of reflection about the nature of humanity. Yet the biblical story of Adam and Eve is full of ambiguities. Do the first chapters of Genesis describe one creation, or two? Why did God create

the first couple? Why would - or better, how could - creatures created "in the image of God" sin? What does the story teach us about human sexuality? This course will focus on how Jews, as well as the Christians with whom they were in dialogue, have interpreted this story and offered answers to these and other pressing questions.

Temple Emanu-El is looking for volunteers to help in many different ways: prepare kiddush lunch, office help, welcome new members, lead services, participate in the Purim Spiel, and so much more! We are stronger together!
