Hadar Program: An Evolving Covenant: Understanding the Shoah’s Role in Jewish Theology.
A live conversation over Zoom between Rabbi Yitz Greenberg and Rabbi Avi Killip
Thursday, 4/28, 12pm Eastern Time
Rabbi Yitz Greenberg has argued that the Shoah fundamentally upended older models of Jewish theology, demanding new answers and new paradigms. As a result, his framework of an “evolving convent” attempts to answer the biggest questions in the shadow of the Holocaust: How did the Holocaust change our relationship with God? What can we learn from the Shoah about Jewish History? How should we respond to injustice in the world? Join us to mark Yom HaShoah with a candid conversation on the lessons that we can – and cannot – draw from the Holocaust. Afterwards, there will also be an option to participate in Rabbi Greenberg’s Project Zug course, “Theology and Ethics After the Holocaust."
