“Stories in the Talmud: Art, Law, and Culture” with Rabbi Dr. Daniel Rosenberg
Open Learning and Dinner at 7:30 PM; Shiur at 8:00 PM
Wednesday, March 18 Part II: Law
Wednesday, March 25 Part III: Culture
This three-part class explores a sometimes less-studied part of Talmudic literature. Stories in
the Babylonian Talmud serve multiple functions in helping us to understand the ways that our
sages in Bavel thought. They were skilled storytellers who used narratives to express and define
legal thought, and in doing so, rooted their teaching in real day-to-day life.
Rabbi Dr. Daniel Rosenberg, a longtime member of the ASBI community, was ordained by the
Jewish Theological Seminary in 2001 and recently completed a dissertation at New York
University on the “untold stories” of the Babylonian Talmud. He spends summers as a resident
storyteller at Camp Ramah Darom.

SHIUR ONLY (no dinner) at 6:30 PM

Hassidic Dimensions in the Post-Modern World
with Rabbi Dr. Julian Ungar
Sundays, March 15, 22 & 29, at 7:00 PM
We will be examining our reading practices by looking at the Sacred Text in a multi-
layered way. By seeing the biases we bring to the text, we begin to see its mirroring
effect and learn to read ourselves in the text. We will discover the mythic strata
embedded deep in the text and in our psyches, and the way the text can help us make
sense of our lives as well as our personal suffering and grief. We will forge a new
approach that resists the pietistic-moralistic approach but also a purely scholastic-
archeological reduction. Finally, by being open to radical readers like the Hassidic
masters before us, we will rely on them for a new trajectory that makes for exciting
study.
Please review the following chart and let the office know if you would like either to read Torah or to sponsor or co-sponsor a Kiddush or Shalosh Seudot. We’ll be happy to help with the arrangements.
