God Is in this Place

A Conversation with Rabbi George Gittleman & Rabbi Irwin Keller

What is the role of “place” in our individual spirituality and our collective Jewish imagination? Jacob has a dream of angels and attributes his vision to the site itself, saying, “God is in this place and I didn’t know it.” References to the Land of Israel populate our prayers; the climate of Israel dominates our calendars. Others among us feel closeness to the Divine in other site-specific ways: ancient ruins, graveyards, mountains, canyons, oceans. 

Join Rabbi George Gittleman and Rabbi Irwin Keller as they explore what it is in place itself that enlivens spiritual experience, and what are the perils of spirituality that is bound up with particular geography. 

In person and on Zoom.
