Please join us as we continue the study of "The Path of the Upright", a classic ethical work by 18th century Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, which begins, "I have composed this work not to teach people what they do not know but to remind them of what they already know and which is very familiar to them." Note: Each evening class is self-contained. Join us; your voice makes a difference!

Mishna Ta'anit:
Facing a World in Crisis
Wednesdays
11:00am - 12:15pm
May 5 - June 9
The Coronavirus pandemic is, for many of us, the largest global crisis of our lifetimes. We may feel alone in our experience, but there were other crises before this, in other generations and other eras, where people felt that the world was on a tipping point between life and death, existence and destruction.
In Mishna Ta’anit the rabbis discuss the proper protocols for the community in a time of drought, when a lack of rainfall presented a crisis of potential famine. Join Rabbis Muroff and Capptauber to study this book of the Mishna and glean the wisdom it has for our own time of crisis.
RSVP to Patty Brown at to receive source sheets.
