Beit Midrash with Rabbi Norry: Five Remarkable Objects in the Bible
Thursday, October 14 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Temple Beth-El
This Fall, Rabbi Norry will lead the Beit Midrash through a class on “Five Remarkable Objects in the Bible.” Discover a new way to read Torah by looking at remarkable objects that appear in the story line. While most people focus on the characters in the stories, we often overlook an object – a thing – that plays an important role and drives the story forward. We will adopt an artistic, or curatorial approach, and ask “what is it,” “what is it made of,” “where is it,” and “when does it appear in the story?” “Is it a singular object or are there a lot of them?” “What became of it?” “Where is it now?”
The Beit Midrash meets every week from 12-1PM via Zoom.
