This year's curriculum: Exploring Traditional and Contemporary Torah Commentaries
The rabbis teach that the Torah has seventy faces, reminding us that there are many ways to explore, interpret, and understand the same text. This year, each Food and Friends session will present both traditional and contemporary Torah commentaries that bring different lenses and methodologies to the weekly parsha. Together, we will deepen our understanding of the Torah, our world, and ourselves by studying different orientations to the Torah text, including focuses on human psychology, midrash, mysticism, linguistics and grammar, rationalism, and halakhah (Jewish law). Add your voice to the conversation by learning (and eating) with us!
