In partnership with Hinenu Baltimore and JVP Metro DC
How does Jewish Law deal with bias? What constitues guilt in the eyes of our ancestors? When the stakes are life and death, how does our tradition guide our decisions? In xevruta learning pairs, we’ll explore these questions with the help of a mind-bending piece of Talmud and Berukha HaShem we’ll get to bring it to you live!
Text will be learned in the Svara method of Talmud study. Previous knowledge of this method is not necessary to sign up, but knowing your alef-bet (Hebrew alphabet) is a prerequisite. If you would like to learn your alef-bet for this class, we can help you do so, just indicate that in your form!
Learning will be a mix of full group and xevruta (pair) study. You will be matched with a xevruta (study partner) after registration, based on the answers you provide!
There will be lots of yummy food and discussion. If you haven’t been in a physical Talmud learning space before, come and get excited!
