Shavout Beit Midrash

Wed, 23 May 2012 17:30:00 -0400

Shavuot and Revelation
And they stood at the foot of the mountain. - Exodus 19:17

Beit Midrash

House of Study

UJA-Federation of New York
Jewish Resource Center

Join our community for an exciting Shavuot session with Rabbi Michael Paley, scholar-in-residence at UJA-Federation of New York.

In the Talmud, we are told that on Shavuot, God inclined the mountain over our heads like a tilted tub and then said, “If you accept the Torah, all is well. If not, here will be your grave.” What a crazy story! In this Beit Midrash, we will explore the Talmud’s view of revelation and free will. We will also explore the magical understanding of this text through the perspective of modern Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas.

This session is modeled after the traditional beit midrash, a rabbinical house of study featuring interactive group discussions. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn with friends and colleagues!

American Sign Language interpreters and assisted-listening devices are available. Please contact us at least five business days prior to the event to make arrangements.
