SUMMARY:Judaism 101- Class #2
DESCRIPTION:“G-d Struggling” \nJoin us on Zoom Monday\, December 1\, 2025 \nShalom fellow KBS learners\,\n\nThank you for joining us as we deepen our Jewish learning together. We learned a lot from our first meeting\, and are eager to see where we go from here.\n\nThank you to Ruthellen for the prompt that will be the subject of our next meeting.  She put it plainly: “How can one be a Jew and not worship God?”\n\nAs it turns out\, we are not alone in asking this question.  In fact\, it is a long tradition that has been discussed for thousands of years.\n\nSo the next session is titled God Struggling.  Together\, we will look at a couple of texts to set up the conversation.\n\nThough we don’t intend for this to be a class with homework\, we encourage all to do some inquiry and offer the group the fruit of your search by sharing any sources you might want the rest of us to read in advance.\n\n\n\nWe are  preparing for our next session on December 1\, 2025.\n  \nAviva and Yehudah Plaut
