The Alyth Chavruta Project (19:00)
The Alyth Chavruta Project returns in March and April for a six-week course in which we dive into a sugya of the Talmud that contains the famous teaching that Hillel does standing on one leg. Chavruta is a classical form of Jewish study, in which two people grapple with a text together. As well as the all-important “Golden Rule”, this section contains a number of intriguing and often mystifying traditions and parables. Join us as we explore this most enigmatic and enriching text. All levels of experience are welcome. If you have someone in mind who you would like to study with, or if you would like us to try to find a study partner for you, please let us know. Text packs will be sent out on a Friday, and then we will join together as a group on Thursday evenings as a whole group. If you would like to receive the first text pack, please email elliott@alyth.org.uk, or check the Alyth website at alyth.org.uk/chevruta. (ID: 840 6335 0323 Passcode: 311220)
