Following Shabbat morning services and a sit-down kiddish lunch, Rabbi Val Lieber will guide us through letters, articles, and interviews featuring Albert Einstein’s opinions about the universe, Judaism, and a Creator. We will also explore several passages from the Zohar and other Jewish mystical sources and discover how they dovetail with the modern physics of Einstein and later quantum physicists. No background in physics or Jewish mysticism required to enjoy this session.

Rabbi Val Lieber has served as the spiritual leader of Temple Anshe Amunim in Pittsfield since 2025 after serving congregations in Brooklyn and Queens in different capacities for 30 years. In 2015 she was named one of the Most Inspiring Rabbis by The Jewish Forward.
