A hybrid event (in-person and virtual) by Rabbi David Kasher
Event Co-Sponsored by BMH BJ
About The Event:
The Israelites made it across the Red Sea just in time. As they touched shore on the other side, the miraculously parted waters came crashing back down and Pharaoh his army, chariots and all, drowned in the water. But wait, says the midrash. Pharoah somehow made it out alive! And you’ll never guess where he ended up…
About The Speaker:
Rabbi David Kasher serves as an Associate Rabbi at IKAR, a non-denominational spiritual community in Los Angeles. He received his BA in Political Science at Wesleyan University, holds a J.S.D. from Berkeley Law, and received his Rabbinic Ordination at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah. Rabbi Kasher grew up bouncing back and forth between the Bay Area and Brooklyn, hippies, and Hassidim – and has been trying to synthesize these two worlds ever since. He was part of the founding team at Kevah, a nonprofit specializing in Adult Jewish Education. He has served on the faculty of Berkeley Law, the Wexner Heritage Program, Reboot, and The BINA Secular Yeshiva, and also taught at Pardes, SVARA, The Hartman Institute, AJR, and HUC. Rabbi Kasher is a teacher of nearly all forms of classical Jewish literature, but his greatest passion is Torah commentary, and he just published a book on the subject, ParshaNut: 54 Journeys Into the World of Torah Commentary.
