January 21st, 7pm Eastern, online
Jews have often heard that we aren’t supposed to do astrology. "Ein mazal b'yisrael" Rashi tells us, "Israel is not bound by the stars." But throughout history the Jewish relationship to astrology hasn't been so simple. From Talmudic prohibitions and debates to zodiac imagery in synagogues to Jewish court astrologers in the Middle Ages, our tradition holds a surprising range of perspectives and practices.
As we explore the many Jewish experiences of what it means to consult the stars or be defined by them, we'll also ask if there are distinctly Jewish ways of doing astrology today. Led by Corina Dross, a consulting astrologer who wrestles with these ideas regularly, this class welcomes everyone interested in exploring these contradictions.
All texts will be in English and no knowledge of astrology is required. All faiths (or lack thereof) and connections (or lack thereof) to Judaism are welcome.
