I Have No Earthly Idea About God!
"Sometimes I Pray," "Prayers Preceded God"

Once, a very nervous Bar Mitzvah parent sat on my couch and bemoaned that she could not add to the study of a Torah portion:exclaiming, "I have no earthly idea about God" It struck me that she had identified an important and common problem. Earthly ideas about God are precisely what we need rather than sophisticated and deep abstractions. Join us as we listen to how our sages and poets help us to stay "grounded"!

To whom or what can we turn for help in finding meaning in suffering? What kind of message are we likely to find comforting? The biblical Book of Job offers profound reflections on these questions. In two sessions, we will explore Job’s struggle with the help of Rabbi Harold S. Kushner’s book: The Book of Job: When Bad Things Happen to a Good Person.

The sessions are on Nov. 14 & 21, 4-5 pm, at First Presbyterian Church (305 E. Main St.), as well as being accessible on Zoom (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87372211056).  Attendees are encouraged to read the biblical book of Job (two especially good contemporary translations: by Robert Alter and by Stephen Mitchel) and Kushner’s book. (Note this is different from Kushner’s other book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People.)
