A Historical Look at HalachaRabbinic
intern Neal Cronin will be leading a series of classes taking a historical look
into major works of Halacha spanning several centuries. Each class in the
series will begin with a short presentation of one key work by a key figure in
a particular century, and will examine how this work builds upon those of the
previous centuries, and how this work influences our views and actions today as
Jews. The brief presentation will be followed by plenty of discussion.
Participants will be invited to share their pertinent personal experiences, and
air any issues the law brings up. Taken a whole, these classes trace the
development of halacha into what we know and apply today.
Dates of this series:
April 27, May 4, 11, 18, June 1, 8, 15

Torah Study with Rabbi KuninThe Torah is our timeless treasure, with answers for the pivotal questions of the past, present and future. Sometimes it challenges us, and sometimes it disturbs us. Nonetheless there is always room for learning and debate. Each week we will examine ideas and issues from the weekly parasha and, through discussion and sometimes debate, discover meaningful connections between the wisdom our Torah and our modern lives. Please join this weekly informal Torah study session with Rabbi Kunin on a drop-in basis.
