Join us at Hebrew College for the first of our public Rabbinical School-alumni-led talks about the Torah portion of the week as it pertains to our “Seeing Torah” art exhibit on campus. The event is free of charge and will be offered in the Ted Cutler Atrium in the lower level of the college on Monday, October 4 at 1:15 p.m. with Rabbi Jessica Lowenthal `19.
Jessica’s talk will focus on, “Did Noah do all that he could to save the world?” Jews have grappled with this question for thousands of years.
