Join us for a compelling four-part series with Rabbi Dr. Rafi Zarum, based on his recent award-winning book, Questioning Belief. In this thought-provoking series, Rabbi Zarum tackles some of the most pressing and challenging questions at the intersection of tradition, ethics, and contemporary thought. Drawing deeply from classical Jewish sources while engaging with modern sensibilities, he offers surprising, provocative, and energizing insights that speak to today’s Jewish experience. Over four sessions, we’ll explore: what the Creation story teaches us if it’s not taken literally; the ethical dilemmas raised by King David’s actions and their relevance to modern warfare and shared responsibility; the complex and often misunderstood notion of the Jewish people as "chosen"; and what belief means in a Jewish context—even for those who question or reject the idea of God. Whether you're a seeker, a skeptic, or a committed believer, this series will invite you into a rich and honest conversation about faith, identity, and meaning in the modern world.
