Class Description

The works of modern science, taken one by one, seem enough to dampen a person's hope for higher meaning. If religion's stock-in-trade is the inexplicable, the coming years don't look like boon times. This is half of the giant paradox, and it's one reason why the average scientist today is probably less religious than the average scientist of 50 or 100 years ago. The other half of the paradox comes from stepping back and looking at the big picture: an overarching pattern that encompasses the many feats of 20th century science and transcends them; a pattern suggesting, to some scientists, at least, that there is more to the universe than meets the eye, something authentically divine about how it all fits together." (What Does Science Teach Us About God?; TIME Magazine, December 28, 1992)

The "Big Picture" picks up where this comment leaves off, by investigating, from a Torah perspective, the essential concepts that allow a person to transcend the everyday, mundane reality, and not only learn to see God within Creation, but learn how to achieve their personal potential so that they can work with God, as a partner, to bring Creation to fulfillment.
