Eicha Rabbah

To lament is a natural spiritual response to hardship or disaster, and since the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE, Jews have turned to the book of Lamentations (Eicha) to connect with generations of Jews who have endured prior sufferings. Eicha Rabbah is a classical commentary on Lamentations, and contains the Jewish wisdom of recovering from disaster, making it a treasury of Judaism’s power of recovery.  In this session we will gain an overview of the book and sample a few of its kernels of wisdom.

Renewing the Covenant

In the 1990s Reform thinker, Eugene Borowitz capped a monumental career with his magnum opus, Renewing the Covenant. In it he traces the emergence of postmodern Jewish philosophy from the disaster of the Shoah, and describes a potential new approach to our tradition, one that recenters God in our language and practice. This session will sample the Borowitz texts that can help us reimagine God’s Presence in our lives as we approach Shavuot and Sinai.
