With Rabbi Serge Lippe | Wednesdays at 12:00-1:00pm | October 28; November 4, 11, 18; December 2, 9, 16 | In-person at BHS with Zoom option
Do Jews believe in an afterlife? What the Hell is Sheol? What happens if and when the Messiah shows up? Why is Paradise an orchard, and what sort of fruit grow there? Did you know you have a personal interest bearing account in the next life? Why do we affirm that even if we don’t have rhythm we have soul? If human history has a beginning, does it have an end?
While we live ba-olam ha-zeh, in this world, the Sages imagined that neither death nor the future was a barrier to resolving personal or historical matters. These and a plethora of other peculiar questions and affirmations will be part of our journey through the concept of Olam HaBa – The World to Come.
