JLI: Curious Tales Of The Talmud |
Want to hear a story? Here’s a short video we produced: http://youtu.be/gPjWruRHXNM
Everyone loves a good story, not just little kids. Knowing this, the sages of the Talmud used stories to encode messages about life that are far too deep and profound to communicate directly. The new course from the Jewish Learning Institute decodes some of these extraordinary Talmudic mysteries to uncover layer within layer of insight into the nature of life, the universe, G‑d, and man. This course meets for six sessions, beginning April 25. You can choose Thursday mornings, Thursday evenings or Sunday mornings. To registerclick here .

Timely Reminders |
This Shabbos is Twenty-Five Days for Sefiras Ha’Omer.
This Wednesday is Pesach Sheini. On this day, people who were unable to bring the Korban Pesach on Erev Pesach had the opportunity to bring the Korban. We do not say Tachnun on Sunday. It is customary to eat Matzah on Pesach Sheini. You can read more here.
