"Stories in the Talmud: Art, Law, and Culture"
with Rabbi Dr. Daniel Rosenberg

Join us for open learning and dinner, followed by an accessible and thought-provoking shiur.

7:30 PM: Open learning, including bekiut Talmud with Rabbi Wolkenfeld, and dinner
8:00 PM: Shiur

This three-part class will explore a sometimes less-studied part of Talmudic literature. Stories in the Babylonian Talmud serve multiple functions in helping us to understand the ways that our sages in Bavel thought. They were skilled storytellers who used narratives to express and define legal thought, and in doing so, rooted their teaching in real day-to-day life.

Tuesday, March 3
"Part I: Art"

Wednesday, March 18
"Part II: Law"

Wednesday, March 25
"Part III: Culture"

RSVP's are required for dinner.
The cost for dinner is $5. Please register before 11:00 AM on the day of the class. Dinner walk-ins will be accommodated as possible at $10 per person.

Rabbi Dr. Daniel Rosenberg, a longtime member of the ASBI community, was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary in 2001 and recently completed a dissertation at New York University on the “untold stories” of the Babylonian Talmud. He spends summers as a resident storyteller at Camp Ramah Darom.
