Adult Ed: The Other Talmud – 2023-24

The Other Talmud | With Rabbi Leslie Alexander

This year on Shabbat we will study the Jerusalem Talmud (Talmud Yerushalmi). The predominately studied Talmud is the Babylonian Talmud. Why? The Jerusalem Talmud was written in the land of Israel. How does it differ from the Bavli? Why are the Yerushalmi’s discussions shorter and why does it seem that their decisions reflect a more open and flexible practice than that of the Babylonian texts? Come learn Yerushalmi texts and discuss these things together. Its time to bring the Jerusalem Talmud back!

Saturdays, 1:00pm (following Shabbat Morning services)
