“The Emergence of Jewish Time”
Exploring the Wisdom of the Talmud – Session I

“The Ferocity of Jewish Intellectual Debate”
Exploring the Wisdom of the Talmud – Session II

The Talmud is highlighted by open debate and back and forth of opposing ideas. The minority opinion is considered and preserved, even after the outcome is reached. And at times, the sages of the Talmud fail to arrive at a decisive conclusion. Learn about how our people established a heritage of questioning and civil discourse.

“The Search for Jewish Identity”
