Join the Adult Education program at Beth Emet and Professor Dov Weiss for a discussion of his current research. In argument against the American Reform Jewish stance of the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform that Gehenna (Hell) is an idea that is not rooted in Judaism, we will examine ancient Jewish discourse about Gehenna to unearth the distinctive values, aesthetics, fantasies, and hopes found within classical Jewish culture. Member fee $25, or included in Friday morning package; non-member fee $35
