This week's class will be taught by Jason Rubenstein\, and it is entitled\, &ldquo\;What Makes for a Good Day?&rdquo\;
What and why is Yom Tov? Towards which experiences of holidays and holiness are we directed by the Mishnah? Using the Talmudic material as a starting point\, we will look at the directions in which that material leads us in framing and living the twelve days of Hag each year. \;
Jason Rubenstein is a faculty member at Yeshivat Hadar\, where he teaches Mussar \; (ethics). He is a fourth-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary and holds an MA in Talmud from JTS and an AB in Social Studies from Harvard College. For the past two summers\, Jason has coordinated Yeshivat Hadar's group processing and worked as sho'el umeshiv (a resource during Talmud study). An alumnus of Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilbo'a\, Jason has led several trips for the Nesiya Institute.
