LOSING MY RELIGION: Navigating Today’s Obstacles to Faith with Rabbi Michael Skobac
- We Jews are living in a time of serious challenges to ‘emunah’ (faith) in G-d.
- The struggle for faith for the Jewish community of the 21st Century is presenting many challenges.
- Many Jews today are even questioning whether there is a G-d?
- Countless Jews are abandoning any connection to Judaism whatsoever.
- Is it possible to believe in the Almighty in an age of such skepticism?
In this five-part series Rabbi Michael Skobac will explore and examine many of the problem areas surrounding religion and faith and possible ways forward for we Jews.
The titles of the first two of the five-part series are:
Session #1 – Wednesday, November 6
IS RELIGION KILLING JUDAISM? Examining negative stereotypes and why Jewish people disconnect from the faith.
Session #2 – Wednesday, November 13
FAITH AND DOUBT: Can Belief in God be Reasonable?
Addition topics that will be addressed in the last three sessions of this series include issues regarding:
- What does Judaism believe about the God that people reject?
- How to nurture faith in the Almighty
- Seeking and encountering God amidst suffering, hardship and evil
- What do you do if your child walks away from Judaism?
