Page 11

Rabbinic Lit 101 Rabbi Pamela Gottfried Tuesdays, 9:30 – 10:30 AM (Zaban Park) OR Thursdays, 10:00 – 11:00 AM Congregation B’nai Torah 700 Mt. Vernon Hwy, NE, Atlanta Rabbinic Lit 101 is an exploration of the development of literature during the Early Rabbinic Period. Looking at familiar biblical laws and stories, we will examine how the early sages communicated their ethical concerns through storytelling and adapted the legal system to address the societal needs of their time. Each session will include the careful reading of a segment of biblical text and a sampling of related to that passage. In addition, our discussions will center on an essential question, or several questions, related to the human condition. As the course progresses, students will develop an eye for ethical and religious concerns that arise from the text, as well as a deeper understanding of the rabbis’ approach to resolving contradictions within the biblical texts.

Our Founding Families: From Avraham & Sara to Joseph Dr. Steve Chervin Tuesdays, 9:30 – 10:30 AM The first book of the Hebrew Bible is filled with ethical dilemmas, human challenges, and intriguing stories. This course features a multi-faceted approach to text study, including: modern and classic as well as interpretations of the texts by artists and poets. While these patriarchs and matriarchs lived in dramatically different times from our own, their struggles and stories are consistently understood by Jews of all ages as guideposts for understanding our own lives. Together we will find and create our own meaningful connections to this timeless text. Torah: One Week at a Time Rabbi Judith Beiner Tuesday, 9:30 – 10:30 AM Everything is in the Torah! Well, almost. As we study the weekly Torah portions, we’ll uncover the history, ethics, ritual and theology of our people. We’ll study traditional and modern commentaries along with Torah Texts, as we seek to connect with Torah. We will, throughout the course, have the opportunity to discuss the ‘Torah-Times’ in the context of world history, decipher a ‘map’ of Torah, compare views of revelation, become familiar with the multitude of literary devices in the text and more. Attention will be given to some of the ‘portions we miss’ (those which fall during the summer months), as well as holiday readings. Who Is Wise? Rabbi Judith Beiner Tuesdays, 10:45 -11:45 AM

Page 12

The rabbis have their answers including the saying: Who is wise? The one who learns from everyone. The pursuit of wisdom is as old as humankind. We all want to be wise: to be able to learn, experience and gain knowledge that will help us make the right decisions, and to lead a good and meaningful life. In this class, we'll seek out those whom we believe to have been granted the gift of wisdom. Biblical, Rabbinic, Medieval and modern texts will help us discern: What is wisdom? How can our actions and our souls be refined? And how can WE be like the wisest of the wise? King Solomon, the authors of Proverbs, Pirke Avot and Kabbalah; A.J. Heschel, Harold Kushner, Rachel Adler, Laura Geller, Sheila Peltz-Weinberg, Joseph Soleveitchik, AND MORE!

World Religions Rabbi Pamela Gottfried Tuesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM As human beings we like to sort ideas and experiences into discrete categories, which tends to make us focus on our differences. Upon further examination, however, we find many similarities among the world’s religions. This course will explore how religious concepts, laws and practices are expressed in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. We will compare and contrast how each religion understands Big Ideas such as the origin of the world; sin and forgiveness; prophecy and charismatic leadership; and laws, ethical teachings and rituals. When relevant and possible, we will take a look at some Native American and African tribal traditions, as well.

Why the Jews? The Reasons for Anti-Semitism Dr. Steve Chervin Tuesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM (Fall only; Sept. 14 – Jan. 11) Using the latest edition of this excellent book by Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin as our text, we will explore why Jews have been persecuted throughout history, and why we should be concerned about anti-Semitism today. We will study Jew-hatred in ancient times, under the medieval Church, under communism and Nazism, and in both the Christian and Islamic worlds today. We will pay special attention to anti-Zionism in the Muslim world today.

Zohar: Kabbalah's Book of Splendor Steve Chervin Tuesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM (Spring Only: Jan. 18 – May 10, 2011) Ever wanted to dip your finger into the well of kabbalah? The Zohar is the central text of Jewish mysticism - revealing the hidden, symbolic meanings of the Torah itself. In this class we will read and discuss some of the fascinating insights which the book expresses regarding kabbalah, Judaism, and life itself.

Jewish Denominations: Addressing the Challenges of Modernity Rabbi Jeff Salkin Wednesdays, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM Examination of Jewish identity and religious expression against the backdrop of dramatic political and social change of the past 300 years. Gain extensive insights into the historical and ideological developments of the major movements, and explore the impact of gender, assimilation, Israel, and post-denominationalism on the movements and the Jewish people.

Page 13

The Holocaust as Reflected in Diaries and Memoirs Dr. Steve Chervin Wednesdays, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (Fall only Sept. 15 – Jan. 12) Journey into the world of Jewish individuals and communities as the events of the Holocaust unfold around them. Students explore the profound record of first- person accounts in diaries and memoirs uncovered in the years since the Holocaust, and gain remarkable insights into the struggle for life as both young and old writers describe day-to-day life coping in the ghettoes, imprisoned in the death camps, hiding on the run, and fighting for their lives. These are unforgettable images that help us understand the real events of the Holocaust and its legacy for us today.

Israeli Literature as a Window to Israeli Society Dr. Steve Chervin Wednesdays, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (Spring only Jan. 19 – May 11, 2011) This course of study offers a fresh and fascinating examination of Israeli society since the birth of the State in 1948. Through the pens of its leading writers, participants encounter an Israeli society that is original, contemporary, honest and proud. Reflections of the mythic Israel are matched by poetry and prose that is challenging and self-critical, and both offer profound insight into the Israeli national psyche.

Kabbalah: Sojourners & Seekers: Are you ready to explore Mysticism? Rabbi Analia Bortz Wednesday, 9:30 – 10:30 AM Wednesday, 10:45 – 11:45 AM Mysticism and mystical experiences have been a part of Judaism since the earliest days. The Torah contains many stories of mystical experiences, from visitations by angels to prophetic dreams and visions. Jewish tradition tells that the souls of all Jews were in existence at the time of the Giving of the Torah and were present at the time and agreed to the Covenant. There are several references in ancient sources to ma'aseh bereishit (the work of creation) and ma'aseh merkavah (the work of the chariot [of Ezekiel's vision]), the two primary subjects of mystical thought at the time. We will distinguish between Mysticism and "commercial Kabbalah" and between rational and amulets. Is Mysticism a Bubbiemaaseh? Come and seek!

World Faiths – Hinduism, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism Rabbi Albert Slomovitz Wednesdays, 9:30 – 10:30 AM Explore the amazing beliefs found in these ancient faiths. While Moses, King David and Isaiah were creating Jewish history, others were developing their views of reality. Come and study these beliefs and discuss how they impacted our faith. Visits to some houses of worship will be included.

Page 14

Three Faiths – Year 2 Rabbi Albert Slomovitz Wednesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM This course assumes that students will already have taken the pre-requisite: Three Faiths. This class will be a continuation of the current class about the Hebrew Bible, Christian Bible and the Koran. In addition to new elements of these works that have not been studied, visits to various houses of worship will be included.

Jews in America: Insiders and Outsiders Rabbi Jeff Salkin Wednesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM This course allows students to consider the challenges of Jewish acculturation to American life, and the sacrifices and contributions that have been made over the past 200 years. Lessons will explore such topics as the role of education, The Three Generation Hypothesis, Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, the changing place of Zionism and the State of Israel, The Civil Rights Movement as a case study of distinctiveness and involvement, and other issues that address American and Jewish culture and identity. This course asks, “Is the cup half-empty or half full?” as the debate continues about the future of Jewish identity in America.

The From All Angles Miriam Rosenbaum Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 PM (Fall Only October 6—February 2) The stories take us from the universal tales of the creation of the world, the flood, and the Tower of Babel to the foundational tales of Abraham and Sarah, and the beginnings of the Jewish people. The themes of family and faith, honor and dishonor, passion and power provide a rich exploration of our people and ourselves. Using source material from other cultures of the period, we will see how various elements in the narrative parallel narratives from the Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Persian civilizations; as well as how these cultures influenced the writing of our origins. Archeology, traditional commentaries, video and modern Midrash will be introduced to help illuminate the origins of the Jewish people.

Comparative Religions: The 2nd Commonwealth and 2nd Temple Periods Miriam Rosenbaum Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 PM (Spring Only February 9—June 1, 2011) Is the way in which we practice Judaism today the same as the Judaism of the Greek and Roman periods? The class will study the history of Israel from the period of the Greek conquest by Alexander the Great through the period of the Macabees and the birth of Christianity. We will examine source material from Josephus, The Books of the Macabees, the Mishna and the Gospels of the Christian Bible to discover how Rabbinic Judaism became the dominate form of Judaism after the destruction of the 2nd Temple.

The Kabbalah Rabbi Carmi Ingber Wednesdays, 8:15 – 9:15 PM, (October 6—June 1) The Kabbalah deals with the most esoteric aspects of reality, allowing us to connect with the Source and understand how our lives are impacted by forces we often can’t see or measure. We will delve into many lofty concepts and uncover

Page 15 the paradox of our own seemingly differentiated existence in the face of the Infinite. What is the meaning of existence and the purpose of our lives? We will study the concepts of fate and destiny. Is there pre-determinism and are there astrological influences in the world? What is the soul and how does it relate to the body? What happens when we die? Are there spiritual forces in the world that affect us, angels, demons…? These concepts will be conveyed in practical and accessible terms to expand your knowledge and give you powerful tools to improve your life. Beyond Borders: Understanding the Arab-Israeli Conflict Rabbi Fred Greene Wednesdays, 10:45 – 11:45 AM (Spring Only January 19 – May 11, 2011) The course provides a text-based historical overview from the late nineteenth century through today. Course material is designed to encourage discussion and debate, and to challenge students to appreciate the basis of the conflicting historical claims made by all sides in the conflict. The complexity of the conflict forces students to grapple with issues of religion, culture, history, politics, economics, identity and survival—all reflected through primary sources, including newspaper articles, poetry, songs, government documents, speeches, photographs and memoirs. The course will provide students with new tools for understanding and critiquing texts and events as the conflict continues to unfold.
