This Book, The language God Talks: On Science and Religion
by Herman Wouk is the next Book Club Selection. 
Buy it. 
Read it. 
Discusss it on October 3 at 4 PM

On October 3rd, the BSKI Book Review club will discuss Herman Wouk’s book “The Language God talks”.
In the process of doing research for his novels "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance", Herman Wouk felt the need to better understand nuclear physics as it applied to the creation of the atomic bomb. To this end he approached the Cal Tech nuclear physicists and Nobel Laureates Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-man. Both were agnostic Jews. In his new book, “The Language God Talks”, Wouk debates with them whether our knowledge of the development of the universe obviates the need or demands the need to believe in God. The book is written in Wouk’s lucid and entertaining style. He effectively presents the positions of Feyman and Gell-man and modestly presents his own position.

The discussion will be led by Rabbi Pamela Barmash Ph.D., a member of Shaare Zedek. She is Director of Jewish, Islamic, and Near Eastern Studies and Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible and Biblical Hebrew at Washington University. She earned her B.A. from Yale University, rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Ph.D. from Harvard University. She is a member of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards and of the Joint Beit Din of the Conservative movement, and she teaches at the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem during the summer. She is the author of “Homicide in the Biblical World”
