The Eclipse of God: Struggling with Faith in the Face of Evil

Martin Buber said that the word “God” was “the most burdened of all human words.” For some, the presence of evil and oppression in human history makes it difficult or impossible to say they believe in God. Could we view these moments of despair as the absence of God, and find faith again? Drawing on Buber’s image of the eclipse of God, we will discuss how we struggle and strive for faith, hope, and wholeness in the face of evil and suffering.

Join Rabbi Bill Plevan to explore these issues as we prepare for Tisha B’Av.
