Can Faith and Science Co-Exist?

Sinai and Synapses bridges the religious and scientific worlds, offering people a worldview that is scientifically grounded and spiritually uplifting.

We will explore the idea of a belief in God or a supreme power being wired into our brains and bodies, and whether or not free will is really free.

Refreshments will be served and there will be opportunities for questions and answers. The program is open to all and has relevance for people of all faiths and no faith.

Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman is the Founding Director of Sinai and Synapses. His work has been supported by the John Templeton Foundation, Emanuel J. Friedman Philanthropies, and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation, and his writings about the intersection of religion and science have appeared on the homepages of several sites, including The Huffington Post, Nautilus, Science and Religion Today, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and My Jewish Learning.

He has been an adjunct professor at both the Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion and the Academy for Jewish Religion, and is a sought-out teacher, presenter, and scholar-in-residence throughout the country.
