SUMMARY:Rediscovering the Weekly Torah Portion
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:10 East 66th Street in Manhattan
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
Each week, in communities throughout the world, Jews read an identical section of the Torah in an annual cycle that is both study and ritual. This semester, conclude Leviticus and embark on a journey through Numbers. Consider the desert wanderings as the infancy and adolescence in a “national biography” of this motherless people, and sharpen the distinctions between p’shat, the plain meaning of the text, and drash, a more metaphorical or symbolic reading of the text. Examine insights from 2500 years of biblical commentary in light of the disciplines of science, architecture, art, philosophy, and mysticism.=0D=0A=
