This week's class will be taught by Jaclyn Rubin, and it is entitled, “When is a Wall Really a Wall?”
In both Eiruvin and Sukkah, the Rabbis learn that a wall, to be classified as a wall, must be at least 10 tefahim high (about 3 feet). As we examine this requirement, we will think about the connection between humans and God and the gap between heaven and earth. Along the way, we will talk about empty space, sukkot, the Temple, and cherubim. Find out what they all have to do with each other, and when a wall is really a wall.
Jaclyn Rubin graduated from Barnard and the Jewish Theological Seminary with B.A.’s in English and Talmud, respectively. Jaclyn holds an M.A. in Talmud from the Jewish Theological Seminary, and completed a year in the Drisha Scholar's Circle. A fellow in the first summer of Yeshivat Hadar, she is now learning there full time.

This winter, the Hadar community will learn Massekhtot as part of its siyyum (completion) of Seder Moed. Every Monday we will hold a guided class, with havruta and discussion. In addition to classes, we will hold an open beit midrash, complete with texts and guiding questions. Come with your own hevruta or let us match you with one. Learn in the Beit Midrash together with full-time fellows at Yeshivat Hadar. Celebrate our progress throughout the year, culminating with a siyyum on Seder Moed at Shavuot.
