Radical Jewish Views of God: Maimonides vs. Spinoza

Hosted By: Valley Beit Midrash

Think your beliefs about God are “out there?“ Think again! In this session, delve into the unexpected views of two of Judaism’s greatest thinkers – Maimonides and Spinoza. Both of them rebel against the “traditional” notion of God found in the prayerbook, but in very different ways. Explore what each of them has to say about what God is (and what God isn’t), and explore your own theology along the way.
