  programs to attend when you register.\n\n\n\nVoices from the Margins: Pet
 itions from the Poor in the Cairo Geniza with Danielle Kranjec&nbsp\;\nTue
 sday\, December 6 • 7PM\n\nThe documents recovered from the Cairo Geniza
  represent every corner of medieval Jewish society\, including the voices 
 of the impoverished and the ill. How does hearing from voices not usually 
 transmitted in our textual tradition illuminate our understanding of Jewis
 h peoplehood\, and the values that have sustained our communities?&nbsp\;\
 n\nDanielle is the associate Vice President of Hillel International’s Ce
 nter for Jewish and Israel Education/Meyerhoff Center.\n\n\n\nWhy the Prop
 het Jeremiah Hated Religion (and Maybe We Should Too) with Rabbi Shai Held
 &nbsp\;\nTuesday\, January 10\, 2023 •&nbsp\;7PM&nbsp\;\n\nIn this day a
 nd age\, we tend to assume that it is ideological atheists who most hate r
 eligion.&nbsp\; But\, according to the prophet Yirmiyahu\, it is God who a
 ctively detests religion—or at least religion of the self-serving\, hypo
 critical kind.&nbsp\; In this session\, we will engage in an extremely clo
 se reading of Jeremiah Chapter 7 and try to understand Jeremiah’s approa
 ch to God\, religion\, and ethics.&nbsp\; We’ll pay special attention to
  the age-old controversy over what the prophet means when he says that God
  never commanded sacrifice\, and we’ll talk openly about how Jeremiah’
 s critique might speak to us\, challenge us\, and unsettle us.&nbsp\;\n\nR
 abbi Shai Held–theologian\, scholar\, and educator–is President\, Dean
 \, and Chair in Jewish Thought at Machon Hadar in New York. Shai has a PhD
  in religion from Harvard\; his main academic interests are in modern Jewi
 sh and Christian thought and in the history of Zionism.
