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.

Jewish Book Discussion Group (Beit Midrash) Fagin the Thief, by Allison Epstein
Long before Oliver Twist stumbled onto the scene, Jacob Fagin was scratching out a life for himself in the dark alleys of nineteenth-century London. Born in the Jewish enclave of Stepney shortly after his father was executed as a thief, Jacob and his open-minded mother Leah are each other's whole world. But Jacob's prospects are forever altered when a light-fingered pickpocket takes Jacob under his wing and teaches him a trade that pays far better than the neighborhood boys could possibly dream. Striking out on his own, Jacob familiarizes himself with London's highest value neighborhoods while forging his own path in the shadows. The discussion will be led by Rachel Abramovitz.

Sarah: Silent Sufferer, or Unrecognized Saint?Rabbi Allan Berkowitz returns to Beth David for an approachable Torah study on the Biblical matriarch, Sarah. Often, Abraham's wife is cast as the silent sufferer who left her homeland with him for an unknown land, was nearly offered up to Pharaoh, watched as her only son was to be sacrificed, and exhibited jealousy of Hagar. Was Sarah the silent sufferer who stood by her man? Or does our tradition offer us a picture of a woman who exhibits strength, good character, moral and theological leadership? Will the real Matriarch Sarah please stand up.
