Who should take this course?

Anyone looking to improve their skills to learn Talmud independently.

Appropriate also for beginners.

What will the course look like?

We will learn a selected text in each class, identify recurring themes and terms in Talmudic texts, and discuss the development of rabbinic discussions. All Sugiyot will be taken from Tractate Gittin. Each lesson will take about an hour and a half but is flexible for you to determine your needs.

This course was FABULOUS! She’s such a wonderful, engaging teacher (Rabbanit Leah Sarna).

The Gemara class has been such a meaningful experience. I know we’re all learning for different reasons, and for me it’s a wonderful review—filling in gaps, helping me organize concepts, and shining light on areas I hadn’t understood before… The journey simply wouldn’t be the same without you. Heartfelt thanks, as always, for your hard work and dedication.

I don’t know how my Gemara knowledge compares to others’, but – my experience today was on the one hand of hearing things I already know for the most part, BUT at the same time listening intently to take in all the new things (to me) that Rabbanit Leah was teaching as she expanded on the principles… I am excited to go look up various things I made notes about… 🙂 Very excited for next course and thanks to Rabbanit Michelle, Rabbanit Leah, Maggie, and Mimi!!!
