2200 years ago, a Jew read the first book in the Torah (Genesis). Their main takeaway? “This is fine I guess. But I could make it way better.” So they rewrote it! They changed details, added characters, and oriented the whole story around cycles of 49 years (called Jubilees). Come explore this radical book, and how it could serve us today.

Jewish tradition praises peace between people, nations and even in the heavens. But how does this square with the painful battles of our history? We will unpack the texts for guidance for today. While pacifism is unrealistic, humanity is not destined to be mired in eternal violence. This class is an urgent, down-to-earth call for SHALOM.
