Biblical Heroes and God’s Personality
First Semester -
with Rabbi DavidBiblical Heroes
What is the secret of the magic of our biblical heroes? We will deal with familiar
and forgotten characters from the biblical story, examine these wonderful characters
that are the focus of The Book, the bestseller of all time, the book that has the
longest shelf life ever.
Second Semester -
God's Personality
The Midrash loves the fact that the Biblical God is not an abstract principle, but has
a real personality and that God is involved in the human condition. This semester,
we will examine God’s personality, as expressed in the stories about the Flood and
about the creation of the world as well as ancient Midrashim. We will see that the
Biblical God has a full 'personality', which is complex and dynamic and try to look
at the Bible's simple meaning and at the midrashic understanding to it.
39 Books
with Rabbi Rapport
Have you ever wondered what lies in the Torah and Haftarah readings? There are
39 books in The Bible and we will study, briefly, every one. This “Taste of Tanakh”
study series will explore the many and varied styles of Biblical literature in search of
an understanding of what the Bible is meant to be. Learn and listen, read and study,
the entire history of the Jewish people during our first 1200 years.
