Rethinking Everything We Know about Our Universe
A NEW SIX-SESSION COURSE FROM THE ROHR JEWISH LEARNING INSTITUTE
What Is?
Is the world real? What is time? Where does our sense of self come from? Why does evil exist? If G-d already knows what we will do tomorrow, is our "freedom of choice" nothing more than an illusion? Does the word "G-d" actually mean something, or is it just a way of referring to whatever it is that we cannot explain? Imagine that we were able to rethink everything we know about the universe, the laws of nature, our own consciousness—even the very idea of existence and reality.
Imagine the new insights we would gain, and the fresh perspective with which we would embark on the journey of life each morning. What Is? does exactly that. Drawing on the wisdom of Chasidic teaching, the most basic building blocks of existence are reexamined from the bottom up, revolutionizing our understanding of life, reality, and our place in the world.
