  • Yehuda Halevy: Pillar of Andalus - Jackson Gardner (TALMID TAKEOVER)

    Too often misunderstood as the opposite of HaRambam’s approach, Yehuda HaLevy’s Kuzari reveals deep insights rooted in the same Sepharadi tradition. Join us as we explore key themes including science vs. superstition, the meaning of Aboda Zara, and the Geonic halakhic system.

  • 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.”

  • Understanding the Mishkan (1 of 3) - Freddie Grunsfeld

    Join us for a 3-part series as we investigate sacred space and sacrificial worship, exploring the relevant pesuqim in Shemot and Vayiqra.

    • Why does the Torah dedicate so much to the Mishkan and Qorbanot?
    • What do these ancient laws teach us about holiness, structure, and divine presence?
    • How do Hazal and modern scholars understand their meaning?
