Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipppur hold the key to the next year. What are we striving for? What are we praying for? How do the prayers our sages compose express those ideas? In the shiur we strive to understand the structure of the prayer
In other words, we are doing reverse engineering. Instead of explaining the davening, we are doing what davening was like before the siddur was composed. We are read more

It is well known that there are three different aspects to Teshuva: between man and God (bein adam l'Makom), between man and man (bein adam l'chaveiro), and between man and self (bein adam l'atzmo). In some senses, it is "easier" to do teshuva for sins between man and God, for these sins, we are told, are atoned for at Yom Kippur. Sins committed between man and man, however, read more

A basic-level gemara shiur that aims primarily to improve the student's ability to logically parse a gemara sugya. For the first months of the zman, the emphasis is almost exclusively on reading the gemara text, and using parallel gemara sources for understanding specific concepts. Rashi's commentary is used only sparingly, for informational purposes. Later on in the zman, the shiur will begin to focus more on understanding Rashi's approach as read more

Maimonides is considered one of the greatest Jewish philosophers in Jewish History. His work, "The Laws of Repentance", summarizes all the laws pertaining to repentance, or Teshuva.

For many, both Midrash and Aggada are a black box when they try to figure out what their ultimate purpose is.  Are Midrashim arbitrary expansions of Biblical narrative  What are these aggadot supposed to teach us Why is a story more viscerally compelling than a systematic moral code  There is method to Midrash and Aggada, and this course will seek to uncover it.

While much attention is paid to Rambam's views of repentance, his Laws deal with many other central topics of Jewish faith, in his eyes relevant to full repentance. By analyzing his perspective of sins that are more serious or significant than others, his ideas about free will and pre-determination, and his view of the reward we are promised for mitzvot, we hope to come to a read more
