Have you ever wanted to study Talmud but didn't know where to start? This single introductory session is your entry point. You'll spend an hour in lively, guided conversation around a page of Talmud, the foundational text of Jewish law and storytelling, learning how to read, question, and argue with it the way Jewish communities have for nearly two thousand years. No background in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Jewish text is required. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to ask questions.
This session previews Peretz Wolf-Prusan's monthly Talmud Circle, which begins this fall and runs through the spring, culminating in a celebratory Siyum.
Who this is for
- Complete beginners to Talmud study who want a low-stakes way to find out what it's actually like.
- Adults seeking an ongoing community of Jewish text study without needing prior background in Hebrew or Aramaic.
- Anyone curious about Jewish law, storytelling, and the tradition of rabbinic argument and debate.
- Prospective students weighing whether to commit to the full Talmud Circle series beginning in October.
What you'll leave with
- Hands-on experience with how Talmud study actually unfolds in dialogue and community.
- A feel for Peretz Wolf-Prusan's teaching style and the rhythm of his Talmud Circle.
