~~~


In terms of studying, you can come with a study partner, or we’ll pair you up with someone at your level

Knowing your alefbet is a prerequisite, and we can help you learn it for this class if needed. If you haven’t studied in the Svara method, you’ll be expected to watch an intro video. See more below.

We’ll be studying an amazing piece of Talmud about death, bias and Jewish Law.

Here’s more on the text we’ll be studying:

How does Jewish Law deal with bias? What constitues guilt in the eyes of our ancestors? When the stakes are life and death, how does our tradition guide our decisions? In xevruta learning pairs, we’ll explore these questions with the help of a mind-bending piece of Talmud and Berukha HaShem we’ll get to bring it to you live!

~~~

Accessibility notes:

- Full access info coming soon

Covid:

- Indoors masking required, except teachers while teaching (they will test beforehand)

- Air filtration

- Test before coming

~~~

The Sunday learning will be a text study class, where text will be learned in the Svara method of Talmud study. Previous knowledge of this method is not necessary to sign up, but you will be expected to watch the intro video(s) we will email you, if you are new to the method.

Knowing your alef-bet (Jewish alphabet) is a prerequisite. If you would like to learn your alef-bet for this class, we can help you do so, just indicate that in your form

~~~

Learning will be a mix of full group and xevruta (pair) study. You will be matched with a xevruta (study partner) after registration, based on the answers you provide!

There will be lots of yummy food and discussion. If you haven’t been in a physical Talmud learning space before, come and get excited!

~~~

Sunday Talmud is $72, pay what you can.

Full sliding scale will be shown at checkout.

Note: The only Shel Maala membership discounts (https://bit.ly/shelmaalajoin) which apply to our Shabbatons are Baal Shem Tov and above.
