Our transgressions are rarely one-time, stand alone actions, which we can expunge from our lives if we had enough focus and determination. More commonly, they are the subtle nuances in how we treat our family, our friends and even ourselves. They emerge out of our psychological and spiritual frameworks. Join Rabbi Brent Spodek in looking at three essential texts for An Emotionally Intelligent Approach to Teshuva.

This three part series with Professor Ziva R. Hassenfeld will look at the three major female biblical personalities who animate our liturgical journey through the High Holidays. Using modern feminist biblical scholarship and rhetorical literary analysis we will uncover the secrets these women hold and the insights they offer us as modern Jews doing our best to make it through a world at odds with motherhood, womenhood and female dignity.

Is it possible for human beings to change? To reveal the Bible’s complex treatment of this question, we join Judy Klitsner in exploring the narratives of Noah and Jonah. We will see how these two stories present opposing views on the notion of authentic and lasting inner transformation. Our explorations take on special relevance as we approach Yom Kippur, the holiday of introspection and hoped-for inner transformation.
