JCM Offering:Midrash in Action
Due to success of the first Midrash and as part of the new year, JCM is happy to announce Midrash classes at the synagogue starting on Thursday, January 9th/Tevet 9 5785. It will be taught by one our own board members and lay leaders Sam Shnider.
Midrash in Action will be a bi-weekly class inviting an open community discussion on urgent questions of meaning, purpose, relationships, mysticism and spirituality through a lens of traditional sources. The sources are meant to be a springboard for the discussion, and all levels of knowledge and background are welcome. For each source - we ask - what does it say? What does it mean? What interpretations are possible? And what does it mean to us?
What can we learn of our own selves through delving into Torah teachings? In this class we will look at some sources that speak of the Torah as a model for creation, creativity, and the road map towards discovering the structure of our own selves, our minds, our bodies, our souls, and how our consciousness mirrors the world around us. A link to the sources we will discuss is here. Come and listen, join the discussion, make yourself heard, or read in advance and come with your own opinions!
Doors open at 6:00pm Class will start at 6:30pm and are an hour long.
Light refreshments will be offered before class starts.
Use the following link for the source sheet to guide you through the class: Midrash Sourcesheet
