Talmudic Storytelling: The Greatest Hits 
Taught by Jake Marmer 
Tuesdays, 7:00-8:00 pm at CBI
10/29, 11/5, 11/12, 11/19, 11/26, 12/3 

We'll read and discuss some of the most iconic stories found in the Talmud. Mystical, absurd, hilarious, tragic, wise, moving, pious, irreverent - these stories have it all. To borrow Ruth Calderon's term, we'll walk into these texts "barefoot" - with our own minds and hearts, rather than traditional interpretations (although we'll reference those when/if warranted). No familiarity with Talmud needed whatsoever, and everyone is welcome! 

Jake Marmer is a poet, educator, and the Head of School at Lander-Grinspoon Academy. He is the author of three poetry collections, including "Jazz Talmud", which explores the poetic dimension of the Talmudic discourse.
