SUMMARY:Introduction to the Jewish bookshelf
DESCRIPTION:You want to learn more about Judaism\, but where do you start? We are known as The People of the Book\, so it’s a great idea to get to know the framework of some of our foundational literature. \nIntroduction to the Jewish bookshelf presents texts that will be your entryway into conversations about creation in the Torah\, self-defense in rabbinic texts\, and revelation through the eyes of modern thinkers. \nThis class is for all levels of learners.

Tepper. Scott has a BA in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies from Brandeis University\, and a Master’s from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
