Rabbi Niles Goldstein, founder of the New Shul in New York City and author most recently of Gonzo Judaism: A Bold Guide to Renewing an Ancient Faith, presents a talk on spiritual writings.
Goldstein鈥檚 talk describes a course he teaches called 鈥淪piritual Writing and Spiritual Writers鈥� that draws on devotional literature from various religious traditions from the Hebrew Bible down to the present. He addresses such questions as: What, over the centuries, have been some of the literary forms of spiritual writing? Do the texts function as transmitters of doctrine or as expressions of the writer鈥檚 inner life and/or vocation? Can writing itself be a spiritual and devotional activity?
Rabbi Goldstein鈥檚 talk is sponsored by the Center for Interfaith Engagement and the at 91大神.
Wonderful news about Rabbi Goldstein’s class, Spiritual Writing and Spiritual Writers, this spring at 91大神. Will the course be offered online concurrently with the in-person class so that those of us at EMS in Lancaster can partake of his wisdom?
