Can Science and Religion Find Common Ground? with Rabbi Geoff Mitelman

Rabbi Brad Artson's "The God of Becoming and Relationship" delves into the fascinating intersection of Jewish theology and process philosophy. Artsons work explores how the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the universe, as understood through process thought, aligns with core tenets of Judaism. The book examines the concept of God as a process, constantly interacting with creation, rather than a static, unchanging entity. Artsons insightful analysis challenges traditional interpretations of God and offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between faith and reason. The book is a significant contribution to interfaith dialogue and the ongoing conversation about the nature of God and reality.

In this classic work, Heschel argues that Judaism is a religion of time rather than space, and that the Sabbath is central to this concept. He describes the Sabbath as an 'architecture of holiness' in time, a day that offers a taste of the Kingdom of God and a repudiation of the materialistic and frenetic aspects of modern life. Heschel emphasizes the importance of observing the Sabbath as a command rather than a license, highlighting its role in declaring allegiance to God and in fostering a sense of inner liberty and spiritual communion[2][3][4].
