Mid-Week Midrash
Each session, Rabbi Jay LeVine will teach a midrash* related to the weekly Torah portion. All levels of knowledge are welcome. The texts are complex - and fun! You never know what you'll find when you start to read a midrash...
(*Midrash is a classic Jewish genre of imaginative interpretation, and a favorite type of text to learn for both Rabbi Jay and Rabbi Rachel.)
