Analyzing the Talmud: Rabbinic Power in a Torah-Centered Judaism Times: Thursdays, 10am May 1st, May 8th, May 15th, May 22nd, May 29thTeacher: Rabbi Marcus RubensteinDescription: The legal discussions of the Talmud form the very bones, muscles, tendons and blood vessels of Jewish practice and tradition. The Talmud is the foundational text of the Judaism we practice today. Together, R. Marcus will lead you through a complex, legal discussion on the limits of rabbinic authority in the enactment of protective Torah guard-rails as to prevent a Jew from violating the Torah in tractate Shabbat. The goal of the class will not only be to understand the simple meaning of the Talmudic discussion but to unearth the deeply held values that underly the positions taken in the text- which may lead one to understand, in a deeper sense, how Torah values can be made manifest within careful Jewish decision-making. TEXT SHEET: https://tinyurl.com/AnalyzingTheTalmud2
Legends of the Talmud- Inspiring Faith through Rabbinic Legends Times: Wednesdays, 12pm: May 7th, May 28thDescription: Hidden within the vast and dense legal analysis of the Talmud lie often hidden-away stories and teachings that can enlighten and inspire Jews of all kinds. These teachings are treasures that form the heart, soul and vibe of our Torah. Because these teachings were woven into longer legal discourses- they lay mostly untouched except by Rabbinic scholars of the highest order. Thanks to R. Yaakov Ibn Chaviv ztz"l, (1460-1516) these teachings are now available to us in an organized and revealed manner. This wonderful medieval rabbi, pulled out all of these teachings from the Talmud and organized it into a collection he called Ein Yaakov or the "Wellspring of Jacob." Together R. Marcus will guide you through these intriguing and unique teachings with a focus on their eternal message for each of us in our own everyday lives.TEXT SHEET: https://tinyurl.com/ay6est8s

Nach: Channah and the Birth of Shmuel 1Times: Thursdays 3pm: May 1st, May 8th, May 15th, May 22nd, May 29thDescription: Many Jews are very well acquainted with the stories of the Torah. They hear about them in synagogue or perhaps learned of them in Hebrew school. The same cannot be said for the rest of the Tannakh (Torah, Neviim, Ketuvim=Hebrew Scriptures). Nach, or the prophets and writings section of the Tannakh, are collected essential stories, teachings and history of the Jewish people through the creation of the second Temple. Together, we will study the story of the incredible female hero- Channah and the story of the miraculous birth of her child Samuel. We will try to analyze the discussion of the story, verse by verse, within the Jewish medieval commentary tradition. We will endeavor to absorb the lessons of what these stories can mean for us today. Text Sheet: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kmcydb44mhlcf0qktic2n/Nach_-The-Story-of-Hannah-the-Birth-of-Samuel.docx?rlkey=csabg9bepz21ibcou8iuml6bz&st=wkc41fy7&dl=0
