Jews…and Everyone Else: Navigating Jewish Identity in a non-Jewish World

In this engaging Hadar Beit Midrash series we will examine the complex ways, whether religious, social, cultural or political, Jews have and continue to negotiate living in a non-Jewish world.

This week's class is entitled, "Symbolism and Sanctity: Can Jews and Christians Study the Bible Together?," and it will be taught by Reverend Leslie Merlin.

Join Pastor Leslie Merlin and members of the Second Presbyterian Church (Kehilat Hadar's "home") as we study one of the most challenging passages in Christian Scripture, John 14:1-4.  In the past this passage has served as a serious barrier between the Christian and Jewish communities, come see what happens when we grapple with it together.
