The Torah's Elevator Pitch
Share
There is a story in the Midrash of several rabbis discussing what the most important pasuk (verse) in the Torah is -- Rabbi Akiva says it's, "Love your neighbor as yourself;" Ben Zoma says it's, "Shema Yisrael...," and so on.
In this 3-part course, Rabbinic Intern Naomi Gurt Lind will guide us as we look at the themes of each proposed pasuk and discuss why each Rabbi chose the pasuk he did, as well as which one speaks to us individually today.
This online class is free and open to all. Meets weekly on Thursdays from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET, July 7 - July 21, 2022. Register to join the class and get the Zoom link. Contact Brigid Goggin at bgoggin@tisrael.org with questions.
