Geulah: In this episode the prayer for redemption is not for the ultimate messianic redemption — because we pray for that later in the amida. Rather it is for personal redemption and national redemption while in exile.

In this class we look at some examples of suffering and redemption from suffering, to gain a deeper understanding of the blessing of redemption — geulah

we will learn that a person has the right to gift his possessions to whomever he chooses. But he can only bequeath his inheritance to those who are eligible to inherit him. A father is believed to say that someone is his son and that he is the firstborn.

Selichah: In this episode the sixth blessing of the Amida is for atonement. We ask “Selach Lanu” — forgive us our Father. In this class I ask the following questions, and answer some of them: Why do we switch between “Our Father” and “Our King”? What is the difference between “sinned” and “transgressed”? Repentance on Yom Kippur takes a whole month and an entire day. How can we sincerely ask for repentance three times a day?
Why do we recite this prayer even in maariv immediately after Yom Kippur? Why is it in the plural? How can I atone for someone else’s sins?

Teshuvah: In this episode the fifth blessing is for repentance. However, the blessing raises several deep theological questions.
In this class, we will attempt to answer some of the following questions: Why does the blessing say “cause us to return” to the Torah, rather than “come to the Torah”? Why does it say “bring us near” and not bring us all the way? And most fundamentally, Repentance is up to us, not God. Doesn’t this entire blessing contradict the concept of free will?

This week we will learn in what order family members inherit their father’s estate. We will then learn the story of the Daughters of Tzlofchad and how they inherited their father’s portion in the Land of Israel.

Da’at: In this episode we move from sacred to profane (in the words of Rav Kook, based on the Talmud), from kedusha to chol. We look at the importance of knowledge to distinguish between holy and profane, between Shabbat and weekday.

The Talmud connects knowledge to the creation of fire (reminiscent of Prometheus, the fire-giver who’s name means “forethought.”) Knowledge means morality, knowing right from wrong. And it leads to the ultimate knowledge of Gd.

This week we will learn that when a person sells a field “with its borders”, he means approximately. Therefore, if he errs in his measurement by less than a sixth, it's a valid sale. If it's more than a sixth, the buyer must pay for the extra land or return it. We will then begin Chapter 8 which discusses the laws of inheritance. We will learn who takes precedence over whom when a family member passes away to that land.
