Tough Questions Jews Ask

Rabbi Marshall

In this class we will tackle those tough questions you have always wanted to ask: Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen? What's the Meaning of Life? Why Does Religious Need So Many Rules? Sometimes we will find the answers, sometimes we won't, but we will work together to make sense of the Jewish tradition by wrestling with what we may not understand.
