Since the days of Abraham, Jews have been instructed to pursue “what is just and right” (Gen. 18:19). This course will explore many strata and eras of Jewish history, from the Bible, Talmud, and law codes through Kabbalistic ideas of Tikkun Olam, Zionism, and 20th- and 21st-Century Jewish experience, to understand how the ancient agricultural model of “the corners of the fields” evolved into later understandings of social justice.

8 Wednesday evenings, 7:00-9:00 pm: 3/23, 3/30, 4/6, 4/20, 4/27, 5/11, 5/18, 5/25.

This course is provided by ME’AH SELECT, a project of Hebrew College. It is sponsored by the Cambridge (MA) Collaborative. Registration can be found through the Me’ah webpage. It is not a project of A Tree with Roots - although I’d love to see you there!
