Brothers Crying Out from the Ground: The Biblical Origins of our Divided Society

Class Title – Brothers Crying Out from the Ground: The Biblical Origins of our Divided Society

Class taught by Judy Klitsner

Class description: In our exploration of sibling-centered stories in the book of Genesis, we will note the unusually fraught nature of sibling relations. We will draw a line from these narratives to the Jewish people today, noting the enduring themes of fractiousness and absence of communication among “siblings”. In our textual journeys, we will seek signs of hope for repair.
