Identifying (with) Speakers in the Psalms: A Summer Class at BZBI
2024-07-29 18:00 - 19:30
Most Jews are familiar with the thirty or so psalms included in the prayer book. But the siddur actually leaves out the best ones! In this course, you’ll get an introduction to the Book of Psalms, an understanding of how some of these texts are put together and a close look at a few amazing psalms. The psalms provide surprising glimpses into how individuals in biblical times saw their relationship with God and exercised their agency to persuade God. And – you will finally find out why the rabbis were so impressed with Ashrei that they included it in every religious service.
Click here to register.
You are welcome to bring your own copy of the psalms so that we can compare translations and commentaries.
Class dates are Mondays July 29, August 5, 12, and 19 from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM; please arrive at 5:45 PM to attend Minyan. Contributions of $18 toward providing security are welcome.

Zohar Study Group led by Rabbi David Greenstein
2024-07-29 20:00 - 21:15 | Zoom Only
Mondays, 8:00-9:15 PM
Word by word, line by line, page by page, we follow the Zohar, the most precious book of Jewish mystical teachings, as it leads us along its paths of primordial wisdom. By turns profound, puzzling, shocking and amusing, the Zohar helps us, through our study and our open discussions, to taste of the Tree of Life. Our studies touch on such topics as the nature of God, the relationship between God and the world, the human soul, the purpose of life, Jewish traditions and their meanings, sexuality and holiness, good and evil, caring for one’s self and caring for others.
This course will run every Monday throughout the academic year. The cost is $180 for BZBI members and $250 for community members.
