Always wondered what that Talmud thing is all about, but haven’t found the serious context to uncover it? Love Talmud and want to return to that counterintuitive discourse? Join an intimate group of dedicated Talmud students of all levels for a foray into the mind of the Talmud. Enjoying an intellectual workout at an early hour, this fun group turns Talmud into a relevant, enticing and often biting endeavor. This semester,we will be exploring Chapter Four of Tractate Gittin, which discusses the idea of “Tikkun Olam”—the improvement of the world through social and judicial action. It’s easy to say you want to fix the world, but where do you start? How to allocate resources? What to do when the best-meant ideas fail and bring opposite results? These contemporary questions are elucidated through the prism of Talmudic thought.
