SUMMARY:Beth El Synagogue - Open Beit Midrash Scholar Limmud with Dr. Eisen
DESCRIPTION:\nOpen Beit Midrash Scholar Limmud with Dr. Arnold
 Eisen\n"Seeking the Hiding God" A personal Theological Essay\nTuesday\,
 January 21st\, 7:30pm Dinner\, 8:00pm Class\nAfter decades of studying and
 teaching modern Jewish religious thought\, Arnold Eisen—one of the
 leading scholars of American Judaism—offers a deeply honest and
 accessible theological essay. Resigned to the limits of human understanding
 of God\, Eisen instead explores the search for the “hiding God\,” the
 meaning of fleeting encounters with the Creator\, and the acts of justice
 and compassion that define human partnership with the divine. Written to
 engage readers of diverse Jewish backgrounds (and interested non-Jews)\,
 the book invites reflection on profound questions of faith that have gained
 urgency in the wake of the COVID pandemic and the attack by Hamas last
 October.\n\nAbout Dr. Eisen\n\nBA\, University of Pennsylvania\; BPhil\,
 Oxford University\; PhD\, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\n\nArnold M.
 Eisen\, one of the world’s foremost authorities on American Judaism\, is
 chancellor emeritus of The Jewish Theological Seminary and professor of
 Jewish Thought. Professor Eisen became chancellor in 2007 and stepped down
 in spring 2020 to return to teaching and scholarship as a full-time member
 of the JTS faculty. During his tenure as chancellor\, he transformed the
 education of religious\, pedagogical\, professional\, and lay leaders for
 North American Jewry\, with a focus on graduating highly skilled\,
 innovative leaders who bring Judaism alive in ways that speak authentically
 to Jews at a time of rapid and far-reaching change.\n\n\n\n The Open Beit
 Midrash Scholar Series is funded by The Yvette and Herman Gordon Century
 Fund for Adult Teaching and Learning. Please consider making a contribution
