Advanced Conversational Hebrew 
This course is suitable for those who read and comprehend Hebrew at a more advanced level, but wish to expand their vocabulary and develop their fluency. 

Love Tales from the Talmud
The Talmud is not a dry compendium of legal opinions. The Talmud offers us stories that touch on all aspects of life, including love. Join us as we explore love tales from the Talmud and uncover what our tradition has to say about love and relationships.

Maimonides on the Issues of Our Times
One of Judaism's greatest thinkers, Moses Maimonides, addressed the most pressing issues of his own times for Jews - many of which reflect concerns today. His life experience and writings included addressing the challenge of radical Islam, conversion, women's issues, anti-Semitism, interfaith relations, secular versus religious education, Jewish communal responsibility and medical ethics. We will explore these and other related topics in Maimonides' writings such as his Mishneh Torah, Guide for the Perplexed, various letters and other writings.
