September 4, 11, 18, 25, 5:30 PM: Ongoing Project Zug Class: God of Our Mothers: What Our Matriarchs Teach Us About Connecting to God The image of God as “King” reverberates throughout the High Holiday liturgy. This image evokes a hierarchical relationship with God, suggesting that we relate to God as subjects. Rosh Hashanah’s Torah and Haftarah readings, however, center our foremothers. In this course, we will explore what these matriarchs teach us about connecting to God. Additionally, their stories open up another metaphor for relating to God: God as “Mother.” The Hadar Institute’s Project Zug (www.projectzug.org) empowers Jews to take ownership of their learning and deepen relationships through one-on-one (havruta) learning. This unique program is for people of all backgrounds, providing compelling and accessible learning materials designed to be studied independently in pairs or groups. Jewish communities and organizations use Project Zug to enhance their adult education offerings and build community.
