THE LIVING TALMUD: A Journey of the Oral Torah from the Sinai Revelation to Rabbinic Creativity with Rabbi Michael Skobac
In this four-part series, The Living Talmud, Rabbi Skobac will uncover how Judaism’s Oral Law forms the beating heart of the Jewish tradition. Through a clear and engaging journey, we’ll study how the Mishnah and Talmud came to be written, why the rabbis structured their teachings the way they did, and how their debates continue to shape Jewish practice.
Along the way, we’ll also explore the imaginative world of Aggadita-stories, parables, and spiritual teachings hidden within the pages of the Talmud. By the end of the course, students will gain a fresh appreciation for the Talmud as a vibrant, ongoing dialogue rather than a closed ancient work.
