Yiddish for “destiny,” the word beshert is used to refer to an intended soulmate, a true love. Join Rabbi Getzel Davis on a search for the spirituality of encountering one's beloved. We will wonder together with surprising ancient wisdom about questions of queerness, interfaith status, and non-romantic beshert relationships. Dive into teachings from the Zohar, Rabbi Isaac Luria, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, Martin Buber, Jacques Derrida, Rabbi Menachem Froman, and bell hooks. This class welcomes partnered and unpartnered folks of all ages, faith backgrounds, gender identity and sexual orientation.
