Exploration of the siddur with Myrna Hammerling

Hebrew School

Debates—philosophical, spiritual, ethical, and cultural—are at the heart of Judaism and Jewish life. Are religion and reason compatible? Can Jewish law change based on context? How do we teach and talk about the Holocaust and the State of Israel? Should we prioritize Jewish causes or universal causes in our giving? Is Jewish tradition intrinsically patriarchal and ableist? Is our relationship with God defined by human obligation or divine compassion? Beyond Dispute invites adult learners into a substantive, text-based exploration of how these debates have been manifested over the course of Jewish history and into rich discussion about their continued resonance for contemporary Jewish life. The course enables learners to go beyond the conflicts themselves to uncover the essential questions that underlie them, and to build a more inclusive view of the Jewish past, present, and future. Rabbi David Weiner will lead an exploration of Beyond Dispute in a weekly Thursday morning class, 10:45-noon, beginning October 17. Sessions will include dynamic text study, video lectures by JTS faculty and enlightening discussions of the material. Students are invited to contribute towards this curriculum with donations to Adult Education at Knesset Israel.
