Who were the spiritual geniuses who shaped Judaism in its formative stages? In this course, we’ll analyze the lives of some of the most important figures in Jewish history: the sages of the first and second centuries of the common era who inherited biblical religion and, in the wake of tragedy, transformed it to speak to a new generation.
Using primary sources found in the Aggadah (stories of the Talmud and Midrash), we’ll explore the legacies of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai, Rabbi Akiva, Beruria and Rabbi Meir and more.
This course will be led by Rabbi Neal Gold and meets weekly for five weeks on Mondays, 9:30-11:30 a.m., beginning July 6.
