THURSDAYS at 12:00 noon Eastern time, beginning October 31
Our weekly Torah classes resume as we continue our deep dive into the Book of Numbers (Sefer Bemidbar).
Numbers is an extraordinary book, radically mixing literary styles (narratives, laws, poetry, ‘samples’ of other stories and myths) to create a diary of the generation between the Exodus and the arrival in the Promised Land. During these years “in between,” Jewish tradition found insight for our own spiritual condition: somewhere between the bondage of the past and the fulfilled future. Together we’ll explore Numbers through the lens of Jewish commentary and midrash, the world of the Ancient Near East, and our own community members’ insights.
WE WELCOME “DROP INS” - By registering, you’ll receive the Zoom link, but there is no need to commit to every weekly session.
And if you participated in the weekly summer series on Bemidbar, consider yourself already registered! Newcomers are always welcome to join in. Participation and dialogue are encouraged - including occasional breakout discussions - and please turn your Zoom cameras on!
