SUNDAY

Typically, a topic discussed in the Talmud is chosen and then studied over a period of 6-8 weeks in a profound and interactive manner. A yeshiva background is not required. Although the material is studied from the original texts, English translations are provided for those who require them.

 

7:30 - 8:45 PM IN DEPTH CHOCHMAT HAMUSSAR - for couples - at Rabbi Ganz's apartment.

This class focuses on excerpts from the Talmud or its classic commentaries pertaining to the weekly synagogue Torah reading - the Parshat Hashavuah.  The psychological, moral and religious ideas contained therein are explored through a give and take exchange of ideas on the meaning of the text. As in the case of the Talmud class, the material is studied from original texts, but English translations are provided.
