Introduction to Judaism
If all one knows about Judaism today is what is found in either the Old or the New Testament, then one knows very little about Judaism. Beginning in the 2nd C BCE a new “philosophy” swept into Judea, at odds with the religion of the Jerusalem Priesthood. By the end of the 1st C CE, “Biblical Judaism” no longer existed, giving way to “Rabbinic Judaism. Particularly interesting is how the emergence of Jesus and his community were part of, and benefited from, that transformation.

Saturday, February 21, 9a-12p
Sing a New Psalm
The Book of Psalms is not only commonly shared in both Judaism and Christianity, but it is the only book that is uniquely and equally celebrated in both traditions. We tend to take for granted that the Psalms are merely liturgical poetry that reflect an “old fashioned” Biblical theology. Focusing on selected Biblical psalms, Rabbi Klein will reveal hidden structures, word-plays and a literary sophistication that speak to today’s faith-community.

Sunday, February 22, 9-10a
Superman's Secret Identity: The Jewish Origins of our Comic-book Superheroes
Second and third generation Eastern European Jewish writers, artists, and publishers were central not only in the invention of the comic book industry in the first half of the 20th C, but they also created its most iconic superheroes. It all began with Superman’s origin story which echoes both Jewish immigrant themes and biblical motifs.
