Exploring Judaism - An Introduction to Mishnah and Talmud, part 2 of 2

After the Exodus from Egypt, Moses led the Israelites to Mount Sinai where, according to Jewish tradition, Moses received TWO sets of divine instruction – The Written Torah and the Oral Torah. The Oral Torah was memorized and transmitted orally until the Second Temple was destroyed.  Fearing that this information would eventually fade away, the early rabbis codified the Oral Torah, which we now know as Mishnah and Talmud.  In this Exploring Judaism session, we will separate myth from fact as we explore famous passages from the Oral Torah.  All are welcome and no prior knowledge necessary. 

And there's still time to RSVP for Dalia's gala!

Call Pam in the office (631)367-4589

“The Other Son” is a compassionate film, touching on many issues! According to one review: "The Other Son" is the moving and provocative tale of two young men -- one Israeli, the other Palestinian -- who discover they were accidentally switched at birth, and the complex repercussions facing them and their respective families.

The Eichmann Trial by Deborah E. Lipstadt

The capture of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann by Israeli agents in Argentina in May of 1960 and his subsequent trial in Jerusalem by an Israeli court electrified the world. The public debate it sparked on where, how, and by whom Nazi war criminals should be brought to justice, and the international media coverage of the trial itself, was a watershed moment in how the civilized world in general and Holocaust survivors in particular found the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale that had never been seen before.
