About the Course

Some of the biggest questions in life are also the ones we rarely get to ask. Who is G-d? Why did G-d create the world? Does G-d care about what we do? And is there room for doubt in Jewish faith?

Join us for My G-d, a fascinating six-week journey exploring Judaism's understanding of the Divine. Through engaging discussions and surprising insights from Jewish wisdom, we'll examine G-d's nature, our purpose, and what it means to have a relationship with G-d.

No prior Jewish learning is necessary. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and an open mind.

What We'll Explore

Six thought-provoking sessions exploring the questions at the heart of Jewish belief.

Lesson 1

The Basics

What is G-d? Where is G-d? And who created G-d?

Lesson 2

His Nature

Does G-d have feelings? Does G-d communicate with us? And why does G-d have so many names?

Lesson 3

His Reasons

Why did G-d create us? Why does evil exist? And can we question G-d?

Lesson 4

His Expectations

Must we believe in G-d? Is doubt acceptable? Can we connect with G-d without being religious?

Lesson 5

His Paradoxes

If G-d knows the future, do we have free choice? Can our prayers change G-d's mind?

Lesson 6

Our Relationship

Why can't we see G-d? Can faith and science coexist? How can we build a meaningful relationship with the Divine?
