Learning with Rabbi Raff: Big Questions
What are the big questions that keep your child (and you!) up at night? What happens after we die? Do Jews believe in the afterlife? Where is God? How do we know if God is real? Learn how Judaism strives to answer those - and many of the other big questions that none of us are prepared to answer. Come prepared with your own questions - or listen to others’ - and we’ll attack them together to help provide answers appropriate for your child/grandchild! Each family in attendance will also receive a special book "Family Talk about God'', to help facilitate discussions about God at home.
