June 25, 2025 How to Read Midrashim - Miriam Zami Edeson
Who was Qorah, and what exactly were the nature of his complaints? In this session, we’ll explore this question through the lens of midrash, paying close attention to how our Sages interpreted—and reimagined—biblical stories. We’ll uncover layers of meaning in the text, gaining insight into the cultural values, theological questions, and literary creativity that shaped ancient rabbinic thought.

Miriam Zami Edeson is a PhD candidate at Yeshiva University in Talmud and Ancient Judaism. Miriam teaches widely across academic and communal settings and is a member of the Sefaria Word-by-Word Fellowship. She has previously published at the Lehrhaus, where she was also an editor, and writes on midrash and meaning at her Substack.

May 22, 2025 Ḥakham Uziel’s Hegyonei Uziel (1 of 2) - Dr. Aryeh Tapper
Join us for a two-part series exploring the Introduction and first section of Hegyonei Uziel, the deeply traditional but original work of Jewish thought written by Rabbi Ben Sion Meir Ḥai Uziel, the first Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel. In this book, R’ Uziel connects the soul, and the soul’s connection to God, to a robustly active Jewish life inspired by a vision of human excellence.

Dr. Aryeh Tepper is Director of Publications at the American Sephardi Federation and a fellow at Ben Gurion University and the Center for American Culture and Ideas. He co-directs the Omni-American Future Project, writes widely on Classic Sephardic Judaism, and is the author of “Progressive Minds, Conservative Politics: Leo Strauss' Later Writings on Maimonides.”
