A Jewish View of Paradise

Thu 31 May, 7:30-9 am. Contra Costa JCC, 2071 Tice Valley Blvd., Walnut Creek, 94595. Dawn, 925-943-1484. Building Jewish Bridges - [email][events]

What do Jews believe about the Garden of Eden? Was it truly "paradise?" What role does passion - love, hate, desire, anger - have in being human? Do these feelings belong in a utopia? Join Rabbi Judah Dardik to view the movie "Pleasantville," and discuss a Jewish view of the Garden of Eden. This evening is part of the Movies & Messages series.
