Assertion or Submission to God? How Should We Live?

As God’s covenantal partner, how are we to make sense of episodes in history or in our life when God seems to unilaterally disregard the covenant? Is the only response other than resignation and sub-mission or can the human being assert dignity even in the most dire situations. Join us for a discussion about human dignity and the greatness that is in each and every one of us. Rabbi Barry Gelman
