A virtual event presentation by Dr. Joel Gereboff
About the Event:
Although most Jews know that it is traditional to fast on Yom Kippur, the latest Pew Study of American Jews shows that only half of American Jews do fast. In many ways, Jews seek to find reasons to fast or to make fasting a meaningful experience. This presentation will examine guidance provided in contemporary Machzorim (prayer books) regarding the meaning of fasting.
About the Speaker:
Joel Gereboff is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His research and publications focus on early Rabbinic Judaism, American Judaism, Jewish ethics and Judaism, and emotions.
