In this week’s Talmud class we continue exploring our Sages’ views on dream interpretation. We also delve into the fascinating topic of demons.

In today’s Talmud class we’re studying dreams! Did you know that King David never had a good dream? Find out why as we explore our Sages’ views on dream interpretation.

Class 16 – Berachos 55 – Interpreting Dreams – Today we’re studying Talmud! From Tractate Berachos (Blessings), wisdom from our sages regarding dreams, government, and weather.

Class 15: Diving into Talmud – Berachos 55a – Secrets to Long Life – Today we’re studying Talmud! From Tractate Berachos, Blessings, a fascinating discussion among our Sages regarding wisdom, gratitude, long life and bathroom habits.

Class 13: Explaining the Inexplicable: The Sin of The Golden Calf, Part 2 – How could they do it? How could they not? What was in the air when a nation that just experienced the greatest moment in human history fell so far, so fast?

Class 12: Explaining the Inexplicable: The Sin of The Golden Calf, Part 1 – How could they do it? How could they not? What was in the air when a nation that just experienced the greatest moment in human history fell so far, so fast?

Class 11: Murder at a Purim Feast As Purim approaches, we encounter a Talmudic conundrum:

Rabbah and Rav Zeira celebrated the Purim feast together. They became intoxicated. Rabbah arose and slaughtered Rav Zeira. The next day, Rabbah prayed for mercy on Rav Zeira’s behalf and revived him. The following year, Rabbah said, “Let master come, and we will celebrate the Purim feast together.” Rav Zeira answered, “Not every time does a miracle occur.” -Megillah 7b, B. Talmud

What is going on here? A holy Sage gets so drunk that he slaughters a colleague, and yet he merits to have his resurrection prayer answered by God?

Class 10: God Says, “I Show You The Pattern.” Torah Portion Terumah, Exodus 25. Making a sanctuary for the Lord within ourselves. Stories from R’ David of Tolna and R’ Simcha Bunin of P’shische.
