Discover the Talmud
This winter, Rabbi Mendy Kasowitz will offer “Decoding the Talmud,” a new six-session course by the acclaimed Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI). The course aims to demystify the intricate world of the Talmud, the monumental classic that has shaped Jewish learning for centuries.
Despite being one of the most essential texts in Judaism, many Jews struggle to explain what the Talmud really is. When asked about the Talmud, they find themselves at a loss for a clear answer. For a new learner, the Talmud can be intimidating and inaccessible, remaining a closed book for the masses. “Decoding the Talmud” aims to change that.
Beginning Wednesday evening, February 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Chabad of West Orange, 401 Pleasant Valley Way, students will meet its main characters, explore its dynamic history and engage in authentic Talmudic study. They will learn the key terms, logical principles and historical context required to decipher the text of this 1,500-year-old work and discover how it has survived and thrived, continuing to fill Jewish study halls to this day.
Like all JLI programs, this course is designed to appeal to people at all levels of knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public.
Interested students may call 973-325-6311 or visit www.chabadwesotange.com/JLI for registration and other course-related information.
