When we wrestle with God, we allow our faith to be tested and our trust in God to grow. What about God’s faith and trust in us? This workshop will model a respectful and enriching interfaith dialogue between a Jew and a Christian. We will examine Genesis 32:28 and consider the many ways to think about this text from both the Jewish and the Christian perspectives. While we may “wrestle” over the text we will do so honoring one another and the treasures of our faith traditions that we bring to the conversation.
