SUMMARY:Beth El Synagogue - Open Beit Midrash Scholar Limmud with Dr. Eisen
DESCRIPTION:\nOpen Beit Midrash Scholar Limmud with Dr. Arnold Eisen\n"Seek
 ing the Hiding God" A personal Theological Essay\nTuesday\, January 21st\,
  7:30pm Dinner\, 8:00pm Class\nAfter decades of studying and teaching mod
 ern Jewish religious thought\, Arnold Eisen—one of the leading scholars 
 of American Judaism—offers a deeply honest and accessible theological es
 say. Resigned to the limits of human understanding of God\, Eisen instead 
 explores the search for the “hiding God\,” the meaning of fleeting enc
 ounters with the Creator\, and the acts of justice and compassion that def
 ine human partnership with the divine. Written to engage readers of divers
 e Jewish backgrounds (and interested non-Jews)\, the book invites reflecti
 on 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. Eise
