The Hebrew Bible does not fully define God or all of God's attributes. On the contrary, Biblical images of God emerge through different stories and texts that lead us to ask many questions, including:

Does God have physicality?
Is God merciful or jealous (or both)?
Can God “feel” sorrow, regret, love, and anger, like human beings?
Does God have a gender? Is God sexual?
Does God change over time?

Join us to delve into these questions, and many more, to discover what the biblical text reveals.

Gideon Amir was born in Holland to Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Israel in 1947. He grew up in Jerusalem and served in the IDF as a Paratrooper.

Gideon received his Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rechovot. In 1980, he moved to the United States, where he worked as a manager in several companies including Sperry Univac, British Telecom, and Cisco Systems.

In 1999, he pursued his interest in Judaic Studies and enrolled in a full-time graduate program at Baltimore Hebrew University, where, in May 2001, he received his Master’s degree with honors. Redirecting his passion for teaching from computer science to Jewish and Bible studies, he became an adult Jewish educator for several education programs, including the Haberman Institute, where he continues to teach today.
