"Honi's Long Sleep in the Bavli and Yerushalmi"
Taught by Professor Jeffrey Rubenstein
Seder Moed Project: Ta'anit
Every Tuesday, the Hadar Beit Midrash features a guided class on a section of Seder Moed with hevruta learning (in partners) and discussion. In a community-wide learning project this year, we will be learning Seder Moed in an order that allows us to prepare for each holiday as it approaches. Come with your own hevruta (learning partner), or let us match you with a hevruta. Join Yeshivat Hadar students in the Beit Midrash, and Yeshivat Hadar faculty will be available to answer questions as you study. We also encourage those who sign up to learn a section of Seder Moed independently to come and learn at the Beit Midrash.
Tuesday, July 21
7:30-9:00 p.m. at Yeshivat Hadar (at West End Synagogue, 190 Amsterdam Ave. at 69th St.)
$5 per class, $35 for the series (Tuesday evenings through August 4)
Pizza dinner provided!
