Knowledgeable, creative, and unconventional.
Participant about the teacher Spring 2024.

The Talmud is one of the foundational texts of Judaism, and the key to understanding Rabbinic thought. It is, however, a 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.

Course structure

The course structure consists of lectures and chevruta (traditional paired learning). 

Prior knowledge

The course is given in English.

The course is aimed at participants who have some previous experience of Jewish text studies.

Course material

Course material is included in the cost for this course.
