MITZVOT  – THE COMMANDMENTS: WHAT AND WHY? (ONLINE)

The Torah contains 613 of them, and some people commonly refer to them as good deeds. But is that really a good description?

In this course, we will learn how the unique relationship between the Jewish people and their God is constituted by both the written and oral components of the Torah, how our observance of mitzvot has grown and transformed through history, and what relevance these ideas might have in a modern, secular society. 

The course is given in collaboration with Paideia – the European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden.
