Dr. Avivah Zornberg, Bewilderments: Reflections on the Book of Numbers
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Come learn with author and Torah teacher Dr. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg. Literature, film, and psychoanalytic thought will enrich our study inspired by "Letter from an Unknown Woman: Joseph's dream." Book signing of "Bewilderments: Reflections on the Book of Numbers" follows.
Study Topic: Letter from an Unknown Woman: Joseph's dream. Joseph dreams provocative dreams; his brothers' hatred grows because of them; Jacob apparently dismisses them. But according to Freud, all dreams contain a 'navel,' a spot that defies understanding, that 'reaches into the unknown.' That unfathomable element in the lives of Jacob and Joseph is represented by Rachel, the 'unknown woman' in their narrative.
