'Death, Immortality, and Afterlife in Judaism' With Rabbi Jonathan Blake

As  part of a five-part series titled “Death, Immortality, and Afterlife in Judaism”, Rabbi Jonathan Blake will "explore several questions:What does Judaism teach about death and what happens after we die?  Can Jews believe in heaven?  In a "soul?"  In resurrection?  Rabbi Blake will take participants through the many centuries of texts and traditions framing these questions and responses to them."

All texts will be read in English.

This program is free and open to the public.

"Students are encouraged to bring a Jewish Bible (Tanakh).  A secondary text, Neil Gillman's "The Death of Death:  Resurrection and Immortality in Jewish Thought" (Woodstock, VT:  Jewish Lights Publishing, 1997) will also be used.  This book will be purchased in bulk and sold through the temple office."
