Pot luck dinner and conference

Professor David Biale of the University of California at Davis will give a talk on “Heresies in Judaism” after Shabbat services (6:30 pm) and a pot luck dinner ( 7:30 pm, bring one dish, one desert, one drink).

“Can a Jew be a heretic?  Are there certain beliefs, as there are in Christianity that are not acceptable in Judaism?  In this talk, we will examine some important cases of Jewish heretics — from the Talmud to Baruch Spinoza — to try to answer these questions.”

Professor David Biale is the Emanuel Ringelblum Distinguished Professor of Jewish History at UC Davis and author of the forthcoming Hasidism: A New History and a biography of Gershom Scholem. Recent books include: The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Judaism; Not in the Heavens: The Tradition of Jewish Secular Thought; Blood and Belief: The Circulation of a Symbol Between Jews and Christians; and Cultures of the Jews: A New History.
