Bridging the Gap: an academic's struggle to reconcile Jewish heritage with a secular education
Join us for a journey of self discovery with Dr. Abrams, as he bridges the gap between two seemingly conflicting worlds, dealing with questions such as: Is man's origin from an ape or from Adam? How old is our world?
Shabbat Morning, January 19th
Services at 9:30 AM, Shabbat Lunch at 1:00 PM
Modern Perspectives on Science & Judaism: From Creation to the "G-d Particle"
How can the discoveries of modern science be relevant to an observant Jew? How can our faith in G-d help us better understand the natural world? As a modern academic, Dr. Abrams will discuss how he sees the Torah's reflection in our world and how science and Judaism can help one another.
