This year's Padnos Public Engagement Lecture on Jewish Learning, held in partnership with theĀ Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, will feature University of Michigan Professor Deborah Forger and GVSU Professor Jeremiah Cataldo in conversation exploring the themes covered in Forger's forthcoming book Divine Embodiment in Jewish and Christian Antiquity.

We hope you will join us for a lively conversation followed by a dessert reception.
