Beth Tzedec Calendar
Learn Talmud at Your Own Pace with Rabbi Steven Wernick
Monday Night Learning
Jul 19 2021, 7:30PM to 9:00PM
in the Zoom..
NOTE: This event has already occurred.
One
of Judaism’s greatest strengths is its affinity for diverse opinions and the
debate, for the “sake of Heaven” to implement God’s will in our lives.
The Talmud is the source from which this affinity for debate
and the code of Jewish halakhah (law) is derived. It is made
up of the Mishnah (250 c.e. Israel) and the Gemara (500
c.e. Babylonia). The Mishnah is the original written version
of the oral law and the Gemara is the record of the rabbinic
discussions following this writing down.
For many, the study of Talmud can
seem overwhelming. In this weekly Talmud learning with Rabbi
Wernick, we will learn at a slow and deliberate pace, sequentially studying a
single page of Talmud throughout the week, with Shabbat
designated as a day for personal review.
This
fall we will study Tractate Berakhot, the very first tractate of the Talmud.
No previous experience is
necessary and students are invited to participate and drop in to our shiur as
they are available. Participants will be encouraged to use materials on www.sefaria.org or purchase the Koren or
Steinsaltz version of the tractate we are learning. These can be purchased at Amazon.ca.
Please register in advance so we
may sign you up so we can communicate as our start date approaches. Please
