Adult Education 2020-2021 -- Torah Study, Talmud Study and Hebrew
Now Meeting on Zoom!
"A Taste of Torah"
We are known as the People of the Book. Learning and studying Torah is an essential component of a rich and meaningful Jewish life. It connects us with our past and gives us perspective on the future, while helping us make decisions in the moment. This is why the Rabbis decreed that we should read the entire Torah every single year, and that every Jew should read the weekly portion three times.
We will study the weekly portion using the Commentators’ Bible, a translation of Mikraot Gedolot, and some of the most influential and famous commentaries on the Torah. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. You do not need to attend weekly to participate in this class.
Wednesdays – 10:00-11:00 a.m.
The Book of Judges
Covering the years between the conquest of the Land of Israel in the time of Joshua and the establishment of the monarchy under King Saul, the Book of Judges tells the stories of the 12 tribes and the leaders (such as Samson and Devorah) who judged the people.
Tuesdays – 7:30-9:00 p.m. (2/2, 2/16, 2/23, 3/2, 3/16 & 3/23)
Wednesdays – 4:00-5:30 p.m. (2/3, 2/17, 2/24, 3/3, 3/17 & 3/24)
Pirkei Avot -- Ethics of Our Sages
Technically a tractate of the Mishnah, Pirkei Avot stands out from all of the other tractates in that it is not a discussion of laws on a particular subject. Instead, it is a collection of wisdom and ethical teachings of the Sages. "If not now, when?"
Tuesdays – 7:30-9:00 p.m. (3/30, 4/6, 4/20, 4/27, 5/4 & 5/25)
Wednesdays – 4:00-5:30 p.m. (3/31, 4/7, 4/21, 4/28, 5/5 & 5/26)
The price per person for one class is $75; $125 if you enroll for both classes. To register, contact Julia Coss via email at office@thepjc.org.
PJC Book Group
Join our group of book lovers for lively monthly discussions about Jewish books. We alternate between fiction and non-fiction. Our discussions last about an hour. Anyone can recommend a book and/or lead the discussion. We have been successful in enlisting well-known authors, including Rachel Kadish, Matti Friedman, Gloria Goldreich and Karen Dukess -- to name a few -- to enhance our discussions. There are no requirements, so please join us.
Hebrew Classes
Hebrew is the language of our Torah, of our people and of our prayers. Learning Hebrew is a lifelong endeavor, as the language continues to evolve in Israel.
To register, contact Julia Coss in the PJC office.
