    "God on Trial," inspired by the legend that concentration camp prisoners conducted a mock trial against the Almighty, will be shown at Congregation Micah at 11:30am on Saturday, November 21. The event is free and open to the public.

    "God on Trial" is a 2008 BBC/WGBH Boston television play set in Auschwitz, where Jewish prisoners from all walks of life try God on grounds that the Ruler of the Universe has broken his covenant with the Jews by allowing the Nazis to commit genocide. "This screenplay speaks to universal questions about faith and philosophy," said Rick Wise, Chair of Micah's Lifelong Learning Committee, which is sponsoring the Brown Bag lunch event.

    Following the screening, a discussion will focus on such questions as: Why is there so much suffering in the world? What kind of God would allow the Holocaust to happen? How do you interpret the film's conclusion?

    A Reform Jewish synagogue known for its diversity and inclusiveness, Congregation Micah serves nearly 500 member families under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Laurie Rice and Rabbi Philip (Flip) Rice.
