Blessings & Curses: A Framework for Free Will (featuring Rachel Ringgold)
Description
In parshat Behukotai, God makes two sets of promises to the Israelites: A series of “blessings” if they follow God’s commandments, and a series of “curses” if they don’t. Is one of these motivations nobler than the other? Why is it that sometimes, even when we follow God’s commandments, evil things still happen - and what is the relationship between evil and free will? TBE member Rachel Ringgold offers her perspective! Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world. TBE Richmond Podcast is produced by Abby Miller. Our theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost.
