Rabbi Matt Carl

From the backs of baseball cards to rockumentaries, every medium has its own way of documenting the lives of its favorite characters. Talmudic literature is no exception. In this course, we will delve deeply into a few of the Talmud’s stories that (sometimes painfully, humorously and/or outlandishly) describe how these guys became our great Sages.

History or Hagiography, a three-part session running April 16, 23 and 30, is part of NightShul, EMJC’s Thursday-evening learning and social series. $15 per-evening admission; each three-course series is $30 for EMJC members and $36 for non-members.
