SUMMARY:Adult Ed: Introduction to Talmud Study with Rabbi Emily Kapor-Mater
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Talmud Study with Rabbi Emily Kapor-Mater\nSundays\, beginning February 1 | 9:30-10:30am (No Classes Feb 15\, Mar 22\, Mar 29\, and Apr 5)\nRSVP Here\n\n\nThe Talmud stands at the center of Rabbinic Judaism. While often associated with law\, it is also a richly layered work containing narrative\, interpretation\, scientific speculation\, and moments of striking strangeness. Over the course of ten weeks\, this class will engage a curated selection of classic Talmudic passages. We will learn about the history and structure of the Talmud\, explore how Talmudic arguments work\, and meet the rabbis whose voices continue to resonate in Jewish tradition today. All material will be taught in English translation\, with the original Hebrew and Aramaic available for those who wish to engage them. \nRabbi Emily Kapor-Mater is the founding rabbi of the Portland Open Beit Midrash. Her rabbinic work centers on affirming and celebrating the lives and identities of the people who inhabit the margins of the Jewish community\, drawing on innovative yet deeply rooted approaches to Jewish law\, liturgy\, and ritual.

SUMMARY:Adult Ed: Introduction to Talmud Study with Rabbi Emily Kapor-Mater
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Talmud Study with Rabbi Emily Kapor-Mater\nSundays\, beginning February 1 | 9:30-10:30am (No Classes Feb 15\, Mar 22\, Mar 29\, and Apr 5)\nRSVP Here\n\n\nThe Talmud stands at the center of Rabbinic Judaism. While often associated with law\, it is also a richly layered work containing narrative\, interpretation\, scientific speculation\, and moments of striking strangeness. Over the course of ten weeks\, this class will engage a curated selection of classic Talmudic passages. We will learn about the history and structure of the Talmud\, explore how Talmudic arguments work\, and meet the rabbis whose voices continue to resonate in Jewish tradition today. All material will be taught in English translation\, with the original Hebrew and Aramaic available for those who wish to engage them. \nRabbi Emily Kapor-Mater is the founding rabbi of the Portland Open Beit Midrash. Her rabbinic work centers on affirming and celebrating the lives and identities of the people who inhabit the margins of the Jewish community\, drawing on innovative yet deeply rooted approaches to Jewish law\, liturgy\, and ritual.
