Join Rabbi David Silber as he continues his ongoing series covering the First Two Books of Tanakh! This term will provide an analysis of the laws of Exodus 21-23 that are central to the covenant of Sinai.
In this two-part series, we’ll explore Jewish universalism and particularism through the lens of Matan Torah. Studying texts from the Torah itself, Second Temple literature, and rabbinic thought, we’ll trace divergent perspectives on the nature of Torah and for whom it was intended.
Prepare for Shavuot by exploring mystical teachings on the concept of revelation. Rather than a single historical moment, we’ll see that Kabbalistic and Hasidic authors describe the divine voice as a vital force unfolding from creation and across the generations. With an eye to ethics and practice, we’ll pay special attention to how we can attune ourselves to hear this sacred voice in the texts we study, in the contemplative realm deep within our soul, and in the magnificent fullness of the world around us.
What is going on in the cryptic covenant ceremony in Exodus chapter 24? How did the rabbis actively model the halakhic structure of formal conversion to Judaism off the covenant at Mt. Sinai? How did they ensure it would be able to continue even after the destruction of the temple and the loss of sacrifices? What does any of this have to do with the arcane laws of the red heifer (Numbers 19)?
We will explore these questions and more across three text-intensive sessions focused on Exodus chapter 24 with commentaries, Talmud Bavli Keritot daf 9, and select passages from the commentary of the Tosafot across the Talmud.
This beit midrash series is designed to help mental health professionals and clergy explore Jewish perspectives on issues they likely encounter in their day-to-day work. Focusing during each meeting on a different topic of importance to mental health and well-being, participants will bring their own clinical and personal perspectives into conversation with a range of classical and modern Jewish texts.
This offering is open to clergy, mental health professionals, and students pursuing such careers.
In this course, we’ll investigate what it means for the Jewish people to be chosen – one of the most divisive doctrines of Jewish thought. We’ll sketch the evolution of the notion from Biblical times until today.
