Emmanuel Levinas built a modern way of reading and interpreting Talmud based in the ancient traditions created by our Sages. Levinas read Talmud to find the deeper spiritual core of our tradition; he believed that engaging with a text in communities of readers was the foundation of our continuity as a people and of our Jewish way of being in the world. Continuing what we started last spring, this fall we will explore a new section of Talmud together, bringing our own insights and questions into conversation with Levinas’ read of the Sages.

A note from Todd on the course: It would be very helpful to have a foundational knowledge of Talmud and Torah for this course. If you’re unsure if this Talmud & Levinas discussion and study series is right for you, let’s talk!
