Congregants Leading Classes
Matt Whitehorn Teaching at Limmud Philly
We’re so lucky to have a community of scholars at BZBI. From our regular students at the Rabbis’ many classes, to the excellent Q&As we enjoy at our SICHA lectures, to classes led by congregants, BZBI’ers never stop learning. That’s why we’re so happy to be exporting that talent at Limmud Philly this year. Matt Whitehorn, of infinite Jewish-sports knowledge, is teaching a class about that very topic. Please swing by for a chance to study with Matt and other members of the Philadelphia Jewish Community. Knowledge is meant to be shared!
“History of Jews in Baseball and a Bit of Basketball and Israeli Sports Too”
