Conference Room
Instructor: Richard Friedman
This class focuses on the text of the Talmud -- what it says and how it says it. Discussions are lively, and range from legal details to the theology of commandments. All questions are fair; no belief is assumed except that study of Torah is worthwhile. In mid-August we will be at the beginning of chapter 7 of Masechet (Tractate) Shabbat, on page 67b. Texts are in Hebrew/Aramaic and English. Participants include people who have studied Talmud before and people who have not.
