The Talmud is one of the foundational texts of Judaism, and the key to understanding Rabbinic thought. It is, however, an exceptionally challenging text to study, comprising complex philosophical, intellectual and legal debate in a format that is unfamiliar to many.

In this course, we will learn and practice techniques of reading and understanding that will help to unlock this most rewarding corpus of Jewish text.
