In this "In Dialogue" joint lecture, Lynn Kaye, author of Time in the Babylonian Talmud (Cambridge University Press, 2018), and Sarit Kattan Gribetz, author of Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism (Princeton University Press, forthcoming), engage in a conversation about the ways in which rabbinic texts reflect on God's time. Does God exist in time? How does God tell time? What is God's daily schedule? Through a series of surprising sources - at once playful and moving - they will explore how ancient Jews conceived of the divine and why it matters for how we understand Jewish theology.
All Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free and open to public.
