Rhythms and Purposes I Course/Class March 2, 2011

This interactive course, developed and led by the Melton Centre at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is a comprehensive, sequential series of text-based lessons. Rhythms of Jewish Living and Purposes of Jewish Living are taken together. Rhythms introduces the beliefs and practices that shape Jewish festivals, and the life cycle. This enables participants to appreciate the depth and consistency of Jewish life. Purposes is devoted to the question why the Jews believe what they believe? The goal of this course is to identify the ultimate purpose of Jewish life as found in the Jewish texts and the historical experience.
