JEWISH TEXTS • HEBREW • LIVING QUESTIONS
Learning together
A good class is a true encounter around a text, an idea or a question. I bring what I have learned; you bring your experience, doubts and ways of seeing.
The Weekly Beit Midrash
Jewish texts have travelled through countries, languages, arguments and new beginnings. Every generation has read them again and asked what they mean now.
Our weekly online study brings Torah, Midrash, Talmud and Jewish philosophy into conversation with contemporary life, through careful reading and open discussion. Participants from different backgrounds are welcome.
Mondays, 19:00–20:30 South African Time (UTC+2) · Online
Individual learning
One-to-one learning lets us move at your pace and stay with the questions that matter to you. Hebrew reading and comprehension, prayer-book learning, Jewish texts and spiritual practice can be shaped around your starting point.
You may be beginning, returning after many years, preparing for a life transition or seeking deeper understanding of one subject. We begin where you are.
Subjects we can explore
- The Hebrew Bible and its interpretation
- Midrash, Mishnah and Talmud
- Jewish history, philosophy and theology
- Mysticism, Kabbalah and Hasidism
- Prayer, liturgy and spiritual practice
- Jewish ethics and business ethics
- Interfaith relations and the Abrahamic traditions
- Community building and religious leadership
Lectures, workshops & study groups
I teach introductory and advanced courses, seminars, workshops and public lectures, online and in person. Each programme is shaped for the group, its interests and the conversation we hope to begin.
Perhaps there is a book you have always wanted to understand. Perhaps you simply miss learning. Tell me what brings you.
