S'lichot Program: “God in The Box” with Film Maker Nathan Lang

Our Selichot program will begin this year with the sneak peak at a work in progress of a new documentary, “God in The Box”, and discussion with its director, Nathan Lang, who was a young man in Rabbi Aron’s student pulpit in San Antonio Texas many years ago.

This documentary explores the mystery and controversy about what God means to us as Americans in the 21st century. With their main character (The Box) the crew traveled across the country inviting people to step inside and share what they believed. They were amazed at the honesty and intensity of the responses. The film also includes some reflections by scholars, archeologists, and religious leaders, both on the responses and on the question of how we can co-exist as an inter-religious community with our profound differences of understanding on this issue.

Discussing the film with Nathan Lang will be the Reverend Alan Jones (Methodist), Father Jon Pedigo (Catholic), and Maha Elgeneidi representing the Muslim Tradition.
