In a continuing attempt to promote both teaching and learning in the community, CJL presents the student speaker series. Students prepare a topic of their choice and present it in a talk immediately following Friday night dinner. In addition to interesting questions of Jewish law, this chapter raises fascinating issues about theology, Rabbinic methods of reading the Bible, and the uses and parameters of punishing criminals. The class is geared towards students with some experience studying Talmud and Rabbinic sources in the original. Actual level and pace will be determined by the learning background of the participants.
New students are welcome.
