In The Blink of An Eye: The Post Pandemic Reality of Mortality with Rabbi Richard Address

One 90-minute Session 

July 14, 2021

8:00pm Eastern / 5:00pm Pacific

Course Fee: We are testing a new flexible course fee structure. Please see options at checkout.  

We shall look at the classic Torah text of Genesis 3 as a springboard to one of the issues brought home in these past months. This is the reality of our own mortality, the overwhelming impact of time as the one reality we cannot control and the fundamental spiritual question that impacts each of us as we seek meaning.
