  Maimonidies  

Maimonides Chavurah Group NEW!
Wednesday, February 22, 8:00-9:30 PM

Study the works of Moses Maimonides (Rambam) at our monthly Chavurah Group with Rabbi Green and friends. Maimonides was born in Spain, in 1135, and died in Egypt in 1204. He was a true renaissance man, combining in one mind and spirit pre-eminent roles as a rabbi, physician, and philosopher. In the world of Rabbinical seminaries, Maimonides is known as Ha-nesher Ha-gadol—“The Great Eagle”—because of a style of thinking and writing that transcends his own, as well as any other era. Maimonides is truly a rabbi for all generations of the Jewish people. Maimonides approaches material that many people dismiss out of hand because of its irrationality, and makes it palatable to the thinking person—the precise reason why so many study Maimonides today.

  Talmud Sees it Differently  

The Talmud Sees It Differently:
An Introduction to the Most Important Ideas About Living as Jews

With Rabbi Larry Pinsker

Sundays, January 8 to February 19 at 10:30 AM

With the exception of Torah itself, and more than any other document in the long history of our people, Talmud has made known the meaning and purpose of Jewish existence. During our meetings, we will read and discuss texts that have been described as the essential sugyot (Talmudic topics or discussions) that every Jew should know. We will explore the beautiful, subtle path of service to God and humankind at the heart of Jewish living, and particularly the connection between “deep spirituality” and “everyday life”.
