Discussion Group

Talmud Study
Led by Sid Freund

"Biweekly'ish" on Tuesdays at 2:45 PM

Talmud Study Group will focus on ancient Jewish civil laws, many of which formed the foundation of our modern laws. Below is a description of this year's focus:

"On Bearing False Witness"

We will study the debate between sages of the Talmud on the laws and consequences of giving false testimony and the punishment for conspiring witnesses.

We will learn how to apply the methodology of the Talmud's sages, through their use of psychology and logic, to determine the veracity of witnesses and parties in legal cases.

Participants will sit as judges and lawyers and engage in spirited debate on the merit of cases, and unravel the thinking of our sages. Knowledge of Hebrew is not a prerequisite to experience the challenges and satisfaction of these discussions.

Facilitator Sid Freund has been Superintendent of Schools in New York and Connecticut. He attended eight years of Yeshiva studies in New York City, and has had a longtime interest in Hebrew texts.
