CANCELLED: Talmud Study Group
CANCELLED: Talmud Study Group
May 4, 2023 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Beth El Synagogue, 1004 Watts St, Durham, NC 27701, USA
Room: Sager Beit Midrash
Sign up here: https://betheldurham.shulcloud.com/form/talmud-study-group-spring-2023
On many Thursday evenings this winter/spring, Rabbi Greyber will lead a Talmud study group from 7 to 8:30pm in the Sager Beit Midrash. We will be learning the 3rd chapter of Moed Katan, "V'eilu M'galhin." The Talmud notoriously wanders from topic to topic, but this chapter includes rabbinic conversations about Jewish mourning practices. Knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic will be helpful, but not necessary. Everything will be done in translation, but students should be able to commit to attending most class sessions.
Students should purchase a translation/commentary of Tractate Mo'ed Katan. Either Artscroll (which is what will be used in the class) or Koren.
Class dates: February: 9, 23 March: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 April: 13, 20, 27 May: 4, 11, 18 June: 15
