TORAH AppeTEASERS: Judaism’s Tasty Delights! 

 

Course Description:

Over the course of 4 session we will explore together:

A Taste of Pirkei Avot: Turn It and Turn It For All Is Within It  (Chapter 5) (2 sessions)

Ever wonder about the source of Bar Mitzvah?  How long the ram waited, with his horns tangled in the brush, for Abraham to show up with Isaac?  When one’s child should begin Jewish studies?  When (and why) were the Mazikim (demons) created?  What characteristics can we learn from leopards, eagles, deer and lions? This class will answer those questions and so many more...trust me, it will be fun!

Who’s Afraid Of a Little Kafka? The Zürau Aphorisms  (2 sessions)

Reading a selection of the Züau aphorisms will give us an opportunity to peek within the creative mind of one of the greatest Jewish writers and philosophers of the 20th Century, Franz Kafka.  To this day, mention of his name conjures up the term “existential angst”... and for very good reason.

Come along with me for the ride, it promises to be very exciting!

Mondays, 10:00-11:30am (EST)
