MONDAY MORNINGS:

The course will comprise 20 sessions and will cost 400NIS. Come try one or
two classes and then decide. Free trial class, subsequent trial classes

About the course: 
A whirlwind text-based journey through the history of the Oral Law, from
Torah leMoshe miSinai to the present day, paying attention to historical
context.
 
We will be looking at each of the tekufot from Moshe, through Zugot, Tanaim,
Amoraim, Savoraim, then on to Geonim, Rishonim and Acharonim, with stops
along the way for Anshei Kenesset Hagedola, Ba'alei haMesorah, Ba'alei
haChen Chassidut and others. By using texts from each era and following a
particular halachic issue, we can see how Toshba has developed and evolved
through the ages.
 
You will have the opportunity to learn, or rediscover, the main works of
many important Torah scholars, including brief overviews of the layout of
the sefarim. You will also be amazed at how certain works came to be (we
weren't always at odds with the Arab world!) and will gain an insight into
just how much Torah scholarship is influenced by the world around us.
