Playing Hide and Seek with God in the 21st Century: A Theological Shabbaton with Minyan M’at

“This is not ‘theology’ to prove that God exists or answers your prayers immediately. My aim is to offer one Jewish believer’s account of how Judaism makes sense of our current world, post Oct 7th, post Holocaust, in our current American milieu.”

In his book Seeking the Hiding God: A Personal Theological Essay, former JTS Chancellor Arnie Eisen delves into the profound mystery of divine hiddenness, presenting a compelling exploration of how this central theological dilemma resonates within modern Jewish life.

All are invited to join Minyan M’at for any and all of the events below.
