Torah Studies
Judaism spans 4000 years. You can fill up libraries with its literature. Its practices are vaster and more complex than perhaps any other society. What we are aiming for is to explore some of its core elements: core to Judaism, and core to us—modern Jews in the 21st century.
Women’s Torah Learning
Influence vs Power: Explore the Book of Esther and her distinct leadership.
Talmud for Beginners
Discover what the Talmud consists of, its function, and how it embodies the entire Oral Torah. All texts will be in English, and no background in Talmud learning necessary for this class. Experience the full vigor of Talmudic logic and debate.
