In this #ReconConnect Live Beit Midrash Rabbi Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus, Wheaton College Massachusetts’s Professor of Religion & Coordinator of Jewish Studies presents “The Parable of the Three-Legged Table: Why Religion is Not Really About Belief (Live Beit Midrash).”

The talmudic and mystical traditions teach that in the world-to-come the righteous will dine at a three-legged table in which the fourth leg is invisible. This is a metaphor for the groundedness of our religious experience in the material, sensual world, mostly in what we know through our senses. It’s not about believing in unseen things, but rather is rooted and confirmed in our lived experience
