Wednesdays at Beit Avi Chai- Parshat Hashevua in English!
Dr. Aviva Zornberg, Noted author and lecturer
Drawing on midrashic and hassidic sources, as well as on psychoanalytic thought, we will discuss the birth of a singular individual and a nation. Moses and Israel emerge in a profound exodus from the traumas of exile, especially from the exile that the midrash calls the Exile of the Word. Moses, child of two mothers and two cultures, weighed down by a speech impediment, mirrors the developmental struggles of his people. He is selected for greatness ‘for the sake of Israel.’ We will follow the arc of the symbiotic relationship between Moses and Israel through the book of Exodus.
The program will take place in English.
The lectures will be uploaded onto the event pages in the days following the lectures.
Entrance is free, subject to availability.
Tickets may be reserved in advance at the BEIT AVI CHAI box office.
