While the western world presents religion as being a private matter of belief, Yom Kippur pushes in the direction of the public collective as a site of relationship with God. What are the dimensions of this different way of thinking?

In her three-part series, Talmud from the Balcony: Examining Big Ideas of the High Holiday Season, Elana Stein Hain offers new insights on Jewish texts, traditions, and practices to help you live a more meaningful Jewish life. Each class consists of a weekly lecture, text study, and discussion.

Other sessions in this series:

Transitions, New Beginnings, and New Regrets (Rosh Hashana)
The Universal and the Particular (Sukkot)

This series is part of Ideas for Today, curated courses by Hartman Institute scholars on the big Jewish ideas of this moment.
