Thinking About Good and Evil

Wednesdays, April 12 – May 3, at noon, with Rabbi Frank Muller

The past year has seen an unprecedented amount of evil in the world — from the brutal war in Ukraine to mass shootings in the U.S., not to mention the toll COVID-19 has taken. People question how they can maintain their faith and belief in a God who could allow so many bad things to happen. Sadly, little has been written over the years about the problem of evil from a Jewish perspective. Using a new book, “ Thinking About Good and Evil,” by Rabbi Wayne Allen, Rabbi Muller will present an overview of how Jewish sages and teachers from Biblical times to the present have grappled with this vexing issue. To register, email education@naplestemple.org.

Soulful Shabbat
