Bible 101: An in-depth reading of the Bible through 21st century eyes… for Jewish Adults
With Rabbi Joel Rembaum
Meeting Wednesdays at 11:00 AM
The Bible is the Jewish People’s greatest gift to humankind. We will carefully and thoughtfully read selected Biblical texts to help explain how the Bible has touched the souls of so many for so long. Hopefully, it will enable us to find new personal meaning as well.
We will reveal the many “faces” of God that are presented in select Biblical texts. We will explore seemingly contradictory Biblical narratives. We will explain why stories of different Biblical personalities are so similar. We will experience the complex relationships of Biblical families. We will read segments of Biblical law codes. We will learn lessons from the triumph and tragedy of the life of Moses. We will contrast the bold cries of anguish of the Psalms with the poetically erotic expressions of the Song of Song, and more.
Wednesdays, 11:00 AM — 12:30 PM, beginning November 18, 2026.
Requirements: A Jewish Bible (not a Humash), a clear head, an open mind, and a cup of coffee.
