This Year's Theme
Between Praise and Protest: Approaches to God and Prayer
Throughout the millennia, Jewish prayer has been a conduit between humans and God. It contains and expresses the passions, emotions, ideas, and spiritual yearnings of people longing for a connection with the divine. Exploring prayer is a unique way to understand our ancestors' relationship with God and to probe our tradition for guidance in our own spiritual journeys. At Hadar’s Manger Winter Learning Seminar, we will uncover language for gratitude and anger, praise and protest, and the multitude of ways to imagine who God is.
