   This month's topic: The Jewish Church and State Debate

While each session in this series stands alone, they all highlight Jewish disputes over the ages.

The next session will be Sunday February 28 at 1:00 PM on the topic “The Jewish Church and State Debate”.  With renewed appreciation for the importance of a peaceful transfer of power, we will examine contrasting biblical depictions of the transfer of power from Moses to Joshua. Through these seemingly mundane texts, we will uncover a remarkable story of struggle between church and state that could be an important key to answering the question of “Who wrote the Bible?” This session will not only give us a new perspective on the Bible but also offer us interesting insights around church and state relevant in our world today.

 If you are interested in participating, please contact the Betenu office.
