Modeled on the Daf Yomi program of reading a page of Talmud every day, this class discusses several brief readings from the Talmud each week. All texts are in English, with explanatory text by Rabbi Aden Steinsaltz. Prospective students meet with Rabbi Jennifer prior to joining, and are asked to make a commitment to participate regularly. The texts for each week are emailed the night before class.
Each week we will discuss the Torah portion for the following Shabbat. This class is designed for those who are new to Torah study, although more advanced students are welcome. All text and conversation will be in English. Students can use any copy of the Jewish Bible, with or without commentary.

Marcel has been involved in adult Jewish education for many years. He has led classes in Tanach, Hebrew reading, and Torah cantillation, among others. As a Holocaust survivor (born in Belgium 1939) and resident of Israel 1945-1950, Marcel personally experienced two epochal events in Jewish history that are major topics in this course. Marcel was raised in an ultra-orthodox household, attended Yeshivas in Brooklyn and Israel, and studied briefly for the rabbinate. More recently, he was president of a Reconstructionist congregation in Arlington, Virginia. Professionally Marcel has degrees in science and public health, and served as an HMO director and health care consultant. He and his wife of 35 years, Donna Infeld, have one daughter, Amanda.
