SCHOLAR IN RESIDENCE ASBI SOUL CYCLE CHARITY RIDE Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Shai Secunda Parshat Tazria-Metzora, April 20 - 21 ASBI is excited to welcome Dr. Shai Secunda as part of "Seventy for 70". To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel, 70 communities across America, partnered with the Religious Zionists of America and World Mizrachi, will host a speaker from Israel who will speak about Israel at a Scholar-in-Residence Shabbaton. Shai Secunda is Jacob Neusner Associate Professor of Judaism at Bard College, where he teaches in the Religion Department. He earned his PhD at Yeshiva University's Bernard Revel Graduate School, and then held posts at Yale and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on the Talmud and its Iranian context, and Judaism and its interactions with other traditions. Dr. Secunda is the author of “The Iranian Talmud,” and he writes on Jewish and Israeli culture for the Jewish Review of Books. Friday Night Dinner, 8:45 PM at Milt’s BBQ (3411 N. Broadway) "Jews on the Big Screen: Understanding New Israeli Film & Television" DINNER IS BY REGISTRATION ONLY. REGISTER AT ASBI.ORG. $30 Members | $36 Non-Members Registration closes on Monday, April 16. Join us for a Friday night dinner at Milt's BBQ with Dr. Shai Secunda about the evolution of Israeli film and television, which have come a long way since their humble and scrappy beginnings. They have become smart and savvy and sources of pride and fascination for many Jews tuning in around the globe—especially religious Americans. How might these aid in understanding Israeli culture and ourselves? Join us at ASBI for these additional opportunities to hear Dr. Secunda speak: Shabbat Morning Drasha at ASBI "Iran Is Closer than You Think: The 'Iranian' Talmud" As its very name indicates, the Talmud Bavli was produced in Babylonia in the centuries following the compilation of the Mishnah. But, politically and culturally speaking, Talmudic Babylonia was actually at the center of a powerful Iranian Empire. What happens when we approach the Talmud as a product of Iran—for our learning and for our self-understanding?
