“The Emergence of Jewish Time”

Exploring the Wisdom of the Talmud – Session I

After the fall of the 2nd Temple in 70 CE, the sages of the Talmud establish the sanctity of time over space. Through the cycle of Shabbat, the new moon and regular holidays, the Talmud erects a structure by which we understand our place in time.

“The Ferocity of Jewish Intellectual Debate”

Exploring the Wisdom of the Talmud – Session II

The Talmud is highlighted by open debate and back and forth of opposing ideas. The minority opinion is considered and preserved, even after the outcome is reached. And at times, the sages of the Talmud fail to arrive at a decisive conclusion. Learn about how our people established a heritage of questioning and civil discourse.

“The Search for Jewish Identity”
