Online Weekly Talmud with Rabbi Hillel

May 20, 2020, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Add to iCal | Add to Google Calendar

You’re invited to join Rabbi Hillel’s Talmud study class on Wednesday evenings. No prior Talmud experience necessary.
 
This year you’ll be focusing on tractate Avodah Zarah:
This tractate deals with a fine balance: how do we remain authentic to our tradition while being respectful of others? How do we accept others rights to worship differently, without actively encouraging practices we believe to be inherently wrong? These discussions were pertinent 1500-2000 years ago when the Talmudic sages lived among Zoroastrians and Greco-Roman pagans, and are equally relevant to us today, albeit in a somewhat different way.
 
Existing students: Did you already purchase this volume and have it stored at Beth Jacob? Reply to this email or let Rabbi Hillel know. We will drop it off at your home for you before Wednesday.
 
New students: Let us know if you want us to connect you to an online version of the text.
 
Or, join by phone: (647) 558 0588
