On Legends and Spirits: New Talmud Chavura on Tuesday Evenings

Rabbi Josh will be leading a new Talmud Chavura that will meet on Tuesday evenings, at the synagogue, at 9:00pm. This is not a lecture, rather an open, spiritual, exploration of the legends of the Talmud. Each class will be accompanied by a bottle of wine, sponsored generously be Aperitif.

All levels and backgrounds are welcome, as we look inside ourselves, and the Talmud to explore some of the fundamentals of our faith. This Tuesday we will begin with Tractate Avoda Zara, and will ask questions about the essence of Judaism, the Jewish People, and Torah.

Please contact Rabbi Josh (rabbijfrankel@gmail.com) if you have any questions
