10:30-11:30 Monthly Midrash in the Morning: Mitzvah Day Special
Midrash is the rabbinic exercise of biblical interpretation, creating new ideas and stories out of the biblical text. In this session, join Rabbi Josh as we use midrash to understand how the rabbis viewed the idea of mitzvah (commandment) and social responsibility.
