This is an invitation to study Jewish texts. The engagement with Jewish texts has been a central part of Judaism for centuries. Why? Because generations of Jews found wisdom and guidance in those texts that helped them face the difficult challenges of  life. Truth, choice, suffering, disappointments, envy and mortality are just some of those challenges. The study of Torah is not about acquiring knowledge or getting a degree.  Wrestling with Jewish texts may enable us to discover insights that will help us lead our lives with more meaning and awareness. Torah study can provide resources for moments of crisis and moments of the everyday.

This class will look at a broad range of Jewish texts that over the years I have looked to for guidance in my own life. Recently, I have gone back to study these texts again and wanted to share them with you.
