The Sense of an Ending: Moses tells a story

Sunday, 6 September, 2020 17 Elul 5780

5:30 PM - 6:45 PMZoom

Towards the end of his life, Moses tells a story about the end of the world, the end of his world: God has rejected his prayer to enter the Land.

What is his purpose in sharing this story with his people?

We will explore a surprising midrashic tradition that raises the question of how we imagine the future when the world has come to an end.
