Interfaith Lecture Series on Parables, Midrash

Temple Beth El and Christ Church Cranbrook have teamed up to offer a fantastic adult education opportunity in October and November. You can find all the details below, but it is a 6-week course that is open to the entire community and will explore 3 Christian Parables and 3 stories from the Torah (with associated Jewish Midrash). Each of these ancient stories offers insight into how we might best interact in our world today – and we are thrilled that Professor Amy-Jill Levine will bring the depth of her scholarship to our program.
