Torah Study on Thursdays and Saturdays
With our renewed Saturday Shabbat services, we are taking an opportunity to expand our Torah Study offerings. During the Saturday time, from 9:00 to 9:50 AM, we will continue our mystical journey through the Torah, following a commentary by Rabbi Larry Tabick.
We’ll also use our Thursday evening time, from 7:30 to 8:30 PM, to look at the same Torah verses, from the Oral Torah’s perspective – the Mishnah and Talmud text, which has a legal and halachic focus. We’ll primarily use a compilation of the Talmud, called Ein Yaakov, which gathered the aggadic sections of the Talmud – those parts that are primarily story-telling. But in some cases, where there are not complementary pieces from Ein Yaakov, or the halachic texts are very significant, and we’ll look at those sections instead. We’ll always start from a Torah verse in the weekly parashah, and deepen our understanding by exploring how rabbinic sages and mystics understood or were affected by those verses.
In this cycle through the Torah we will be taking a mystical journey. Our guide will be Rabbi Larry Tabick’s book, The Aura of Torah, published in 2014 by the Jewish Publication Society and the University of Nebraska. Translations of kabbalistic texts are by Rabbi Larry Tabick. Translations of the Torah and other commentaries are from Sefaria, except where otherwise noted.
