ME'AH SELECT—From the Corners of the Fields to the Repair of the Universe: How Judaism Teaches Justice, Righteousness, and Peace

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!

ME'AH SELECT—The Passover Haggadah: The Endless Renewal of the Jewish Story

  • Google Calendar ICS

The Passover Haggadah is one of the most familiar and wonderful texts that the Jewish people have ever devised: a midrash of endless riches that evokes all of a person’s senses. We’ll explore its history and evolution, as well as its art and myriad reinterpretations, as it takes a simple story and makes it relevant in every generation.

5 Wednesday mornings, 9:30-11:30 am: 2/23, 3/2, 3/16, 3/23, 3/30
