Jewish Ideas to Change the World

ABOUT THIS CLASS: During this pandemic, our sense of time and our daily routines have changed significantly. Have you ever wondered what God has been doing all day? In this class, we’ll explore a number of rabbinic stories that imagine God’s daily schedule and nightlife. These narratives are playful and quirky but beneath the whimsical surface they address profound theological questions about how the world operates and how each of us ought to use the hours of each day.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Sarit Kattan Gribetz is Associate Professor in the Theology Department at Fordham University, Acting Director of Fordham's Center for Jewish Studies, and a student at Yeshivat Maharat. Her first book, Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism, received a National Jewish Book Award in Scholarship, and she is currently working on her next book, titled Jerusalem: A Feminist History.
