2023 COURSES:

Tales of the Chassidim Part 2
Exploring additional Chassidic Tales to the first course. We will look at the stories of the Baal Shem Tov and show how they made Judaism more accessible and joyous. We will also delve into their deeper and hidden meaning as well as their context. You do not have to have attended Part 1 in order to join this course and gain something from this different set of Tales.

“Heschel’s metaphorical language and the non-linear organization of his books and essays deliberately challenge our usual manner of perceiving the world.” Kaplan
The writings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel can be confusing to decipher. However what is there is both challenging and uplifting. Rabbi Judith will guide you through the texts. In this course we will delve into a range of Heschel’s writings. We will also explore how he tried to reconcile the seemingly opposing views of the Kotzker Rebbe and the Baal Shem Tov.
