The class meets on zoom on Monday afternoons from 4-5:15 beginning February 3. We will read the text in the original Hebrew or Aramaic with an accompanying English translation and discuss the text in English. No familiarity with Hebrew or prior experience studying Talmud is required. This winter and spring, we will study from chapter 1 of the  tractate Megillah which deals with laws and traditions relating to the reading of the Megillah on Purim but addresses many different subjects including midrashim on the book of Esther and traditions relating to the reading of the Torah among others. Prior to the first class on February 3, I will give a brief introduction to Talmud study at 3:45 p.m.  All are welcome!
