SUMMARY:Zohar Study Group led by Rabbi David Greenstein
DESCRIPTION:Weekly on Monday evenings at 8:00 PM on Zoom – starting September 8\, please note the course will meet twice in September (8 & 29) and then resume weekly after the High Holy Days on October 20  \nWord 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. \nThis course will run every Monday throughout the academic year. The cost is $180 for BZBI members and $250 for community members. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The Book of Daniel with Rabbi Ira Stone
DESCRIPTION:Weekly on Tuesday’s\, Starting October 21 at 10:30 AM on Zoom \nThis year our weekly Tanach class will study the last and possibly strangest book of the Bible\, the Book of Daniel. Written in the 2nd century BCE purporting to describe events hundreds of years earlier\, the book has long been a source for both Jewish and Christian readers of mystical\, apocalyptic\, and eschatological speculation\, including the first Scriptural mention of the idea of the resurrection of the dead. The book has also served as a source for literary allusions throughout the history of Western literature and is certainly one that we should be more familiar with. Join us for the adventure!Click here to register. \nA zoom link will be distributed ahead of the first class meeting after participants have registered. The cost is $180 for BZBI members and $250 for community members.
