REL 326/626 - Topics in Judaism:Feminine Principle

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

The appearance of God's feminine face is elusive in Jewish scriptures, flickering on and off like a remote light, signaling to us through the dense forest of masculine voices. We stalk this alluring Divine Presence as She reveals Herself in the Wisdom Literature (Job, Proverbs and Intertestimental Texts), Rabbinic Literature, Jewish Medieval Philosophers and the early Kabbalistic texts (Bahir and Zohar). Students are asked to keep an ongoing dialogical journal with Chochmah (Wisdom) as well as to experience the feminine presence firsthand by participating in a Jewish prayer community during the fall celebrations of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
