ABOUT THIS CLASS: During this pandemic, our sense of time and our daily routines have changed significantly.  Have you ever wondered what God has been doing all day?  In this class, we’ll explore a number of rabbinic stories that imagine God’s daily schedule and nightlife.  These narratives are playful and quirky but beneath the whimsical surface they address profound theological questions about how the world operates and how each of us ought to use the hours of each day.
