Midrash is, technically, any act of rabbinic biblical interpretation, but it is most often used to mean the way that the rabbis created new ideas and stories around the biblical narratives. In this session with Rabbi Josh, run once a month over danish, fruit and tea and coffee, we look at some of the highlights of this rabbinic creativity. In this special session for Sukkot, we will use midrash to understand how the rabbis viewed the festival, and to find extra meaning in it for ourselves.
18:30
Rabbis Josh and Mark lead the community in a relaxed service, finishing with kiddush in the Sukkah.
Our Sukkot Morning (Monday 17 October) Classical Service start at 10:15 and our Informal Musical Service starts at 10:45.
