Nahum Ward-Lev
Fri. 10/13, 1– 8pm; Sat. 10/14, 9am –1pm

Living in Berlin in the mid-1930’s Abraham Heschel saw that some of the basic “presuppositions and premises” of contemporary thought had led to the disaster of his day. He turned to the Hebrew prophets to learn a radically “different way of thinking” that would lead to a more inclusive and socially responsible future. In this workshop, we will follow Heschel’s lead and explore the ways of thought at the root of the prophetic social critique and vision. Then we will apply these prophetic premises to our contemporary societal crisis. The workshop will center around text study and experiential exercises. Friday evening session will include Shabbat ritual and meal.
