Intensive Jewish Learning from Masorti

The Masorti Kollel offers high level study for learners who want to grapple with Jewish texts in their original language. Our goal is not to teach about Judaism, but for learners to become independent readers of the tradition.

The Kollel will focus on Talmud, with additional sessions on other Jewish texts: Bible, Midrash, philosophy, Hasidut, the Siddur. It is aimed at people with some prior experience of textual learning. We also hope to offer more advanced classes on demand, up to the level of Tosafot and Rishonim.

The Talmud course will be taught by Rabbi Chaim Weiner. Additional classes and mini-courses will be taught by the Masorti rabbis and top-level guest lecturers.

The Kollel will meet on Thursday mornings:

9:30-11:00 am Supervised hevruta study

11:00-12:30 pm Talmud class with Rabbi Weiner

12:45-1:30 pm Short courses on a range of Jewish texts

Term 1: October 22, 29; November 5, 12, 19, 26; December 3, 10, 17
