Exploring the Mystery of the Talmud
The Talmud is 2000 year-old composite of in depth legal analysis of practical law, logical argumentation and moral teachings. The Talmud’s laws and ethics have served as a cornerstone of humanity’s civil and moral infrastructure while shaping its legal-judicial systems. Yet, so many of its rulings seem archaic, unrealistic and irrelevant.
In this lecture we will discover how the Talmud's fascinating discussions actually shape the world of Jewish law, Jewish thinking and life in general.
Join us as we explore the mystery of the Talmud.
