Synopsis:

Neil Gillman explains how Jews have encountered God throughout Jewish history--and today - by exploring the many images of God in Jewish tradition, how they originated, and what they can mean for us. Accompanying award-winning author Gillman on a journey through the Hebrew Bible, rabbinic literature and the Jewish prayer book, we explore the Jewish tradition's passionate, but also conflicting ways of relating to God as: Creator; Relational partner; Force in history and nature
