The Rabbinic Sages of the Talmud and Midrash are meant to serve for us as models. Most of the time we are encouraged to follow their conduct, sometimes we are not. In our study of stories that describe the lives of the rabbis of that period we will examine ancient values and how they relate to our modern society. Topics will include: gratitude; the responsibilities of leadership; individual needs in conflict with communal ones; coming into the Presence of God; and the Mitzvah of Aliyah.
The primary sources used will be studied from different perspectives including historical, sociological, theological and literary approaches and will enable us to evaluate our personal lives as we encounter our families, our communities and society at large.
