DESCRIPTION:The City of Port Phillip Multifaith Network invites you to atte
 nd:\n'Abraham our Father” - the figure of Abraham in Jewish Tradition\nGue
 st Speaker:&nbsp\;Rabbi Fred Morgan\nDates:&nbsp\;Sunday 8 February\, Sund
 ay 22 February and Sunday 15 March 2015 (you can attend all or any of the 
 three talks as each talk is self-contained)&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;
 &nbsp\;\nTime: 7:30pm to 9:15pm\nLocation:&nbsp\;St Kilda-Elsternwick Bapt
 ist Church - 9 Pakington Street\, St Kilda VIC 3182\n&nbsp\;\nAbraham has 
 a special status in all three monotheistic religions\, Judaism\, Christian
 ity and Islam. In Judaism he is known as the firrst of the three Patriarch
 s and the first person in human history to recognise the unity of God. Wha
 t does Jewish tradition mean when it calls Abraham 'our Father'? What sort
  of person is portrayed by the stories of Abraham in the Bible? And what r
 ole does the figure of Abraham play in the lives of Jews today? In this th
 ree-session course we'll be drawing on Jewish tradition to guide our readi
 ng of specific stories in the Abraham cycle: Abraham's call\, the annuncia
 tion and birth of Isaac\, and the sacrifice of Isaac. By the end we hope t
 o bring new understandings to Abraham\, Jewish tradition and ways that we 
 can read the Bible.\n&nbsp\;\nAbout the Speaker: Rabbi Morgan is Emeritus
