Midrash class by Sam Shnider Monday, February 3rd
Midrash in Action is a community discussion led by Sam Shnider. It is open to all levels and backgrounds with the goal of reclaiming sources of Torah, the wisdom that has animated the Jewish spirit for millenia, for answers and guidance on matters that confront us today. Sam will begin each class with four to five minutes of song, then a short teaching (about ten to fifteen minutes), and then a communal discussion of the sources. The class will be held bi-weekly with sources ready about one week before the class, so that people can meditate on the sources, and bring their own interpretations.
The sources are riddles, or springboards for discussion, or awakenings for further connections. For each source we ask - What does it say? What does it mean? And what does it mean to us? Ultimately the classes may be compiled into a book of community wisdom for further sharing.Â
Next class is Monday, February 3rd. Doors open at 6:00pm Class will start at 6:30pm and are an hour long.  Use the following link for the source sheet to guide you through the class: Midrash Sourcesheet You are also welcome to join us by visiting:  Zoom Link Meeting ID: 528 461 9173 Passcode: 1818
