This Q & A session will provide participants with a solid understanding of the Noahide Laws and their significance, while also allowing for an open exchange of ideas and questions. The discussion on the Noahide Laws is a very enlightening and engaging event, especially for those interested in the ethical and moral teachings of God's Torah, as well as their implications for humanity as a whole.
God's plan for humanity in the Torah involves creating a moral, just, and holy people who live according to divine commandments. Israel, as the chosen people, is to be a model for the world, demonstrating the values of justice, righteousness, and holiness. Through the covenant, the Torah teaches that this plan has both a national and universal dimension, aiming for the ultimate redemption and blessing of all humanity. Don't miss this class.
What is Avodah Zarah? What is the End Times? How will it happen? When will it happen? This class provides a comprehensive understanding of how to view the end of the world, encouraging critical thinking and reflection on these profound and often personal beliefs.
This class offers an in-depth study of what the Torah's teachings on sexual immorality are about, examining how these teachings have been understood and applied throughout history and in contemporary contexts. Sexual immorality is a recurring theme in the Tanach, where it is often associated with moral, spiritual, and communal purity.
This class offers students a deep exploration of the role of Gentiles (non-Jews) in the Torah, focusing on their relationship with the Jewish people and their place in God's plan. Throughout history, the concept of the "Chosen People" has been central to Jewish identity, but the Torah and later Jewish writings also address the roles and responsibilities of Gentiles.
Guide for the Perplexed (Moreh Nevukhim) is a seminal philosophical and theological work by the medieval Jewish philosopher and rabbi Moses Maimonides, also known as Rambam. It addresses the conflicts between religious tradition and rational philosophy, aiming to reconcile Jewish scripture with Aristotelian philosophy.
The primary purpose of the Guide for the Perplexed is to provide clarity and guidance to intellectually sophisticated Jews who are troubled by apparent contradictions between the teachings of Judaism and the findings of reason and philosophy. Maimonides seeks to resolve these conflicts and demonstrate that the truths of Judaism can be harmonized with rational thought.
The Guide for the Perplexed has had a profound influence on Jewish thought, medieval philosophy, and scholasticism. It has been studied and commented upon extensively by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars. Its rationalist approach to theology and its efforts to harmonize faith with reason continue to be relevant in contemporary discussions on religion and philosophy.
