In the Encyclopaedia Judaica “God” takes up twenty-one pages. Perhaps uniquely in world religions, belief in God is not necessarily a precondition for being Jewish: obeying God is the measure by which many consider themselves to be – or not to be – a “good Jew.”

But what does Judaism actually have to say about God? If we believe, what exactly are we supposed to be believing in?

In Thinking About God we will explore the following broad areas of inquiry:

1. Is God the Creator and Source of All Being—Including Evil?
2. Does God Have a Personality—or Is God an Impersonal Force?
3. Does God Intervene in Our Lives? Does God Intervene in History?
4. Is God a Covenantal Partner and Lawgiver – or Might These Roles Be Rethought in the Modern Age?

Every blessing and prayer we make is addressed to God – it may be worthwhile to get to know God better.
