UTJ Viewpoints Contributor Rabbi Seth Gordon and Traditional Congregation of Creve Coeur, Missouri welcome you to join their weekly Parashah (Torah portion) class which meets via Zoom on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM Central Time.
Below is Rabbi Gordon’s description of his class. To particiapte, please register here.
In order to understand the weekly Torah parashah, I present a toolbox of classic rabbinic sources (in English translation) and university-based insights. Each tool provides breadth and depth for a rich and meaningful understanding of the weekly parashah, taking us beyond a casual reading.
We study relevant Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrash, as well as RaSHI, ibn Ezra, and RaSHBaM, and others. Nehama Leibovitz and her array of later Medieval rabbinic commentary as well as the Torah Temimah’s incisive thoughts on the Talmudic and Midrashic teachings frequently further enhance our study. The primary university text is the JPS Commentary. Many students bring their translation of the TaNaCH and learn how translation affects interpretation. I encourage questions and comments
