Laughing with or at God?

Building on the Bible's presentation of God, the rabbis depict God in shockingly human terms: the divine being wears tefillin and prays, studies Torah, weeps, makes mistakes and suffers correction by humans. Were the rabbis just having fun? This lecture considers the use of humor to explore and express "seriously" distinctive characters of Isael's God.

Join the lecture with Professor Christine Hayes, a renowned academic and scholar of Jewish studies, known for her work on biblical and rabbinic literature.
