with Guest Speaker:  Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, PhD

Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, PhD will speak on the subject: Does God Matter Now?  What if you had a serious relationship with God? What if we understood
ourselves as individuals and as a community as part of a Covenant? Answering these questions is the basis for Covenant Theology, the idea that we are in Covenantal relationship and that it matters in every area of our lives. Rabbi Sabath will share insights on three major Covenant theologians and why God might matter to us, especially now.
