Rabbi Rosenberg from Beth Emeth Congregation will be offering the following classes:
Gnosticism
What is the source of many secret teachings that have formed in Judaism, in the Kabalistic writings and, interestingly enough, the early Christian Church? The sources are similar and the teachings seem to stay with us for thousands of years. In these 5 classes, Rabbi Rosenberg will talk about what Gnosticism is, where it came from and how it affected early and late Jewish teachings in the western world.
Mondays, 6/15—7/13 @ 1:00 p.m.

What is Torah Studies?
Torah Studies is a weekly text-based Torah study program offered in 275 cities on six continents. Torah Studies was founded in 2004 to provide instructors with well-researched, in-depth classes on the weekly Torah portion. Torah Studies enables students of all backgrounds to gain a true appreciation of cardinal Jewish beliefs and practices.
The Torah Studies Experience
In each session, the Torah Studies student encounters a multi-sensory learning experience including a mix of Jewish texts, discussions, learning activities, illustrative anecdotes, visual aids, and digital multimedia. Jewish texts are weaved together to deepen the student’s understanding of a profound new Torah insight. Lessons focus on contemporary topics of Jewish interest, including personal, social, political, and economical issues. Student textbooks contain readings carefully selected from the entire gamut of Jewish literature including traditional and modern sources. The Torah Studies instructor acts as the guide-on-the-side, rather than the sage-on-the-stage, utilizing modern pedagogic techniques to revolutionize a tradition of classical Jewish learning.
