Lesson 1:
Riding a Camel Under a Raised Knee!?
The Desert Mentality, Part 1
There are sections in the Talmud known as ‘Aggadata’, which relates interesting stories, powerful parables, and coded messages. In this class we look at a truly spectacular tale with Rabba bar bar Chana, where he encounters the generation of the desert.
Lesson 2:
Intoxicated Corpses
The Desert Mentality, Part 2
In this lesson we examine the fascinating tale of the Talmud with Rabba bar bar Chana and the desert corpses, and uncover the mystical meaning and message the Talmud conveys with this enigmatic narrative.
Lesson 3:
Miriam bat Bilgah
The Indestructible Jewish Spirit
In this class we explore a perplexing story the Talmud relates about an apostate woman named Miriam from the family of Bilgah who displays great disrespect in the Holy Temple. This seemingly pejorative anecdote of the Talmud, in the final analysis, reveals a truly positive message of extraordinary goodness.
