Interactive, text-based learning for women on Sefer Bereshit.
Are you looking for inspiring Torah ideas combined with thorough and insightful textual analysis? Start your week with a deep dive into the parasha, joining a group of dedicated learners and guided by expert Torah teachers. Both Rebbetzin Dr Fromson and Rabbanit Herzog will bring fresh approaches to Sefer Bereshit, the Book of Genesis, shedding light on the rich narrative and providing fascinating psychological insights into the characters and stories.
Source sheets are provided by the preceding Friday, and to gain the most from this course, we suggest preparing for each class by learning through the sources. You are invited to join students who learn through the sources at 9:30am, one hour prior to the class, either at LSJS or on Zoom.
The class itself starts at 10:30am and will be taught via Zoom. You can join the class in person at LSJS in a ‘Bet Midrash style’ with others, or from home. Classes will build on the sources and offer opportunity for discussion - and you’ll always leave with a relevant and meaningful idea to take into your week.
