Classes This Year
7pm - Dr. Ralph Rothstein - Schara Tzedeck Boardroom
The Book of Kohelet (Begins Nov. 2nd)
Is there meaning to life or is that just a conceit of humanity? The book of Kohelet discusses, in poetic form , the very basic issues of the meaning of life , the proper path to guide one’s life decisions, the seeming paradox that a just G-d allows the wicked to prosper, and similar issues. The class will explore the Hebrew text, the Targum (Aramaic translation), Midrash, and classic commentaries to grasp King Solomon’s framing of the questions and answers.
8 pm - Rabbi Andrew Rosenblatt - Schara Tzedeck Boardroom
The Making of a Haggadah
The Haggadah has been a platform for thousands of centuries. We will embark on writing our own Schara Tzedeck Haggadah as we meet, study and discuss the various elements of this ancient text. Our goal will be to write a Haggadah that espouses and incorporates Schara Tzedeck experience.
8pm - Rabbi Aaron Kamin - Wosk Auditorium
Legal Issues & the Talmud
One of our best kept secrets - this class delves into the intricacies of the legal issues and the talmud. Join Rabbi Kamin as he explores the nuances and not so straightforward angles of legal issues that are as relevant today as they were when the talmud was written!
