The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life invites you to our new series, MOVIES AND MEANING! This screening and discussion series is an opportunity for students to have conversation around their deepest held ideas and beliefs through the medium of film. Each week, for four weeks, we will be watching a film set within a particular cultural/faith tradition that points towards essential questions regarding the values that form us, whether those be "the good", "humanity", "love", "compassion" and "justice". The vision is that these films would foster an opportunity for students to share what these things mean to them, and to learn from each other a bit of how they see the world.
This week's film and discussion will be hosted by
Our final film is the Cohen Brothers A Serious Man (2009)
