Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan's Talmud Circle

In the 2025-26 academic year (October to June) we'll dive into the sea of Talmud…with life vests and good companions. We will use the Koren Talmud Bavli featuring the scholarship of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, and Hebrew with a side-by-side English translation. In addition to the text (see the Talmud Circles page) you will receive support materials and assistance. No one in the years of the Talmud Circles has gone underwater. Everyone is learning. Who knows, you may have an essential insight or life experience to offer!

We'll meets once a month on Sundays, hybrid (in person and on Zoom). In-person meetings alternate between the OFJCC in Palo Alto and the JCCSF in San Francisco. We meet nine Sunday mornings  (usually the first Sunday of the month), from 10am until noon. Each month you can attend in person at one of the JCCs, or on Zoom. (OFJCC participants who find themselves in San Francisco are welcome to join us at the JCCSF library room, but please let the instructor if you plan to do this.)

The full schedule is 10/5 (JCCSF library room), 11/2 (OFJCC room D129), 12/7 (JCCSF), 1/4 (OFJCC), 2/1 (JCCSF), 3/1 (OFJCC), 4/5 (JCCSF), 5/3 (OFJCC) and 6/7(JCCSF).
