Presented by Dr. Ellen Frankel
Sundays 10-11:30am Dec. 8, 15, Jan. 12, 19
This course will provide an introduction to four ancient classics in the Jewish library: the Hebrew Bible, the prayer book, the Talmud, and the Midrash, each of them constituting mini-libraries in their own right. We will look at selected texts in English, unriddle their secret codes, and learn how best to hear their ancient voices with modern ears. This is an entry level course, especially for people new to Judaism or intimidated by text study.
After serving for eighteen years as Editor in Chief of The Jewish Publication Society, Dr. Ellen Frankel now works as a freelance writer, librettist, editor, and community volunteer. She is the author of The Classic Tales, The Five Books of Miriam, The JPS Illustrated Children’s Bible, and a series of mystery books.
