Currently Class Offerings Include:
Talmud Class - Masechet Shabbat Tuesdays at 8:30 PM 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. Texts are in Hebrew/Aramaic and English. Participants include people who have studied Talmud before and people who have not. For further information, contact Richard Friedman.
