“Awaiting the Good Hour”: Hope in the Bible as a Resource for Religious Life
Part of our spring learning series Timely Insights, Timeless Wisdom
Monday, April 8, 1:00–2:30 p.m. ET
Online
With Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky, Dean, List College and Kekst Graduate School; Blanche and Romie Shapiro Professor of Bible, JTS
The capacity to hope is integral to religious life, yet contemporary realities can make it hard to feel and express hope. We will explore what hope means in the context of the Bible, looking particularly at how the prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah use maternal imagery to convey hope, and consider how the Bible can be a valuable resource for cultivating a language of hope for us today.
