The Complexities of Moses’ Inner Life As A Social Activist & Leader with Rabbi Darby
Monday, April 11, 2022
7:00 pm
Online only
REGISTER HERE
Many of us think of Moses as the ultimate example of a social activist and leader, speaking truth to power and demanding freedom for the enslaved Israelites. Many of us are also uncomfortable with the notion of the 10 plagues and the narrative that they impacted ordinary citizens along with the powerful Pharaoh. In his pursuit of securing freedom for the Israelites was Moses uncomfortable with initiating the plagues? If so, why? In this study session, we will look at a Midrash that imagines Moses initially resisting the first plague—dam/blood. We will grapple with questions of Moses’ complex inner life, and by implication, we will examine our own.
The Other Exodus: Righteous Women & the Children Who Recognized God with Rabbi Sam
Monday, April 18, 2022
7:00 pm
Online only
REGISTER HERE
We know the story of Moses and Pharaoh, of the plagues against Egypt, and of God’s splitting of the sea…but what were the rest of the Israelites doing during this saga? In this study session, we will do a close reading of two versions of an extended midrash (rabbinic legend), and we’ll discover characters who teach us what it means to take fate into our own hands—and what it means to offer praise in moments of redemption.
