“Movies are a lot like Midrash” - Study with Rabbi Kirshbaum

  • Bethlehem Hebrew Congregation 39 Strawberry Hill Road Bethlehem, NH, 03574 United States (map)

Bi-Monthly Study with Rabbi Kirshbaum

Led by Rabbi Kirshbaum and fueled by your insights, these sessions place current feature films in conversation with midrash [ancient stories that expand on Torah].

The weekly Torah portion is our point of departure for examining a relevant midrash, after which we screen clips from significant movies. Inevitably, we end up mining the midrash together with the movie for pure gold – new knowledge, new depths of feeling, new ways to think about living in the world.

Join us for any or all these study sessions – each is free-standing. NO prior knowledge of Torah, midrash, or movies necessary.
