What Can We Learn About God From the Image of God in Us? (3/3) with Rabbi Dr. Sam Lebens

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Divinity & Humanity"
The doctrine that humans were created in God’s image is supposed to tell us that there’s something unique and something special, even sacred, about humanity. It is a principle about humans, and therefore, you could call it anthropological. But the principle also tells us something about God. In other words, it’s also a theological principle. What is it that God shares with humans? Does God have an emotional life? Is God a person? Are these questions not heretical? Come along to find out!

What Does the Divine Image Look Like? Perspectives from Chazal (4/4) with Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Zuckier

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Divinity & Humanity"
The Torah teaches us that humanity is created in the divine image. Chazal develop and apply this theme in a number of places, and their discussions lay bare important questions about the nature of the divine image. In particular, several Talmudic passages explicitly address how the divine image maps onto categories of religion, race, and gender, as they apply this definition of humanity in a variety of halakhic areas. This class offers a close reading of those sugyot and their interpreters, aiming to better understand this timely and timeless definition of humanity.
