“Tuesdays with Torah” is a key component of Wise Temple’s adult learning programming. These lunchtime meetings run from 12 to 1:00 p.m. are led by rabbis, rabbinic interns, staff and guest speakers. Each series of classes has a theme, with July 1st, 7th and 15th’s theme emphasizing women of the Talmud.
Matt Check, director of lifelong learning at Wise, will explore the vital role of women in the Talmud, demonstrating their influence in this male-dominated text. In the Talmud, women appear as scholars, leaders and moral voices. Specifically, he will explore the roles of Bruriah, Yalta and Rabbi Akiva’s wife, Rachel.
Come, learn and acquire a deeper understanding of Torah.
