In Open Beit Midrash this week, Dr. Lou Schubert came to OHDS to talk about superheros and Jewish prayer. Many of today's comic book superheroes were created by Jews, including Superman. According to Dr. Schubert, these heroes are a form of prayer. In the Superman comics, Superman punches Hitler, which might be a prayer of many people in the time of the Holocaust. The Hulk was seen by a little girl as a Golem, to help the people. What we see from these comic books, is that these superheros were a kind of Jewish prayer.
Thank you, Dr. Schubert, for coming to Open Beit Midrash!
