Event Details
This 4-session class meets on Thursdays: Jan. 9 – Jan. 30, 2024.
Join Rabbi Pinchas Giller for a deep dive into Jewish wisdom and spirituality, exploring creation and the divine in the book of Writings.

In the Torah, we discover the covenant and the laws that shape Jewish life. The Prophets call for social justice and warn against idolatry. But there’s a third dimension often overlooked: the Wisdom books of Writings—Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Job. These texts echo Greek philosophy, offer a fresh lens on the Creation story, hint at the Divine feminine, and even define happiness. Join Rabbi Pinchas Giller for an enlightening journey into Jewish spirituality, philosophy, Eastern thought, and deep textual interpretation.
