Join Rabbi Stern for a discussion of Ecclesiastes: "To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season..." The biblical book of Ecclesiastes gets a bad rap as being deeply depressing. Come turn that common perception on its head and discover Ecclesiastes' uplifting existential message.
Rebekah Stern is PTS's rabbinic student intern this year. She is in her final year of rabbinic studies at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion where she has already earned an MA in Hebrew Letters and an MA in Jewish Education. Rabbi Stern loves exploring and discovering new insights into Biblical texts, and looks forward to jumping in with the learners at PTS this year!
