Taste of Judaism and Torah & Commentaries classes with Rabbi Mann

Taste of Judaism:  This class is a “sampler” course in Judaism. We will examine major themes in Bible, Talmud, Philosophy, and Theology in a “down-to-earth” fashion.  This class will meet twice a month on Sundays unless there is an adult education program scheduled. 

 

Torah and Commentaries:  Did you ever sit through the Torah readings and wish you understood more about a specific mitzvah or topic in the Bible? This class is for you. We will examine selected Biblical themes in light of the rich interpretive endeavors of the Rabbis from Rashi (11th Century) to Nehama Leibowitz (20th Century).  This class will meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
