Malchuyot for Feminists and Atheists: Approaches to Divine Sovereignty for Those Who Struggle to Call God King
Friday, September 1, 2023 • 15 Elul 5783
11:00 AM - 12:00 PMOn Zoom OnlyHave you ever struggled with the idea of God as King? Has the language of traditional liturgy ever left you feeling alienated rather than inspired? If so, you are not alone, particularly among Reconstructionists. Our home grown High Holy Day prayer book at B’nai Havurah goes a long way to bring forward poetic alternatives, but questions remain. Why did our ancestors choose this way to imagine God and what are the implications of doing so? Is there anything redeemable to the idea of God as King?
Join Rabbi Katie online for a discussion and text study session in which we will explore the real problems with the idea of God as the King of Kings as well as the possibility that such a theology poses a radical challenge to human authoritarianism, and invites us to consider the limits of our own power and understanding.
