A Taste of Talmud
With Rabbi Stacy Petersohn
November 2023 – May 2024 (monthly)
Location: Sosnick Library & via Zoom
Do you ever wonder about the ancient rabbis and their stories? Are you curious to learn the origins of modern Jewish practice and why it looks very little like what is in the Torah? Do you want to learn more about debates and arguments from 2,000 years ago?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then join us for "A Taste of Talmud," our monthly study of rabbinic texts. No experience or Hebrew knowledge is required; all texts are provided in translation. All are welcome!!
