At THZ, Jewish education is a lifelong affair. We continue to learn and grow as adults, expanding our knowledge and love of Judaism — and continuing to ask questions that will both challenge our minds and open our hearts.

Much of what you were told you should believe when you were younger forces you to choose between your spirit and your intellect, between science and religion, between morality and dogma: unchanging laws of nature vs. miracles that sound magical; a good G!d vs. the tragedies that strike all living creatures; a G!d who knows the future absolutely vs. an open future that you help to shape through your choices.

This fascinating introduction to process theology from a Jewish perspective shows that these are false choices. Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson explains how process theology can break you free from the strictures, allowing you to see all creation not as this or that, us or them, but as related patterns of energy through which we connect to everything.

Join us as we help each other to understand not only the basic meaning of the book, but also how it fits into our lives and our personal theologies (or lack thereof).
