At Services this Shabbat evening,
A discussion on:
What do You Believe about God
And Why it Matters
At a Friday evening service in April we had a lively discussion on the question of whether or not Jews must, or should, believe in God. That was followed up by a poll on the question that was put here on Our Blog. You can vote in the poll and/or see the results here. In the most recent edition of Reform Judaism, an article appeared entitled: “The God Survey.” Mark Dov Shapiro, the author, offered an analysis of the sometimes surprising results of a similar survey that he sent to his congregation. I will be using the article as a basis for discussion this Friday evening. You can read Rabbi Shapiro's very interesting article on the internet here. Copies of the article will also be available at services.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi John
