SUMMARY:Havruta: A New Study Experience at the Skirball Center
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:10 East 66th Street in Manhattan
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
“Havruta” means partnership and refers to one of the classic learning experiences in Jewish life, that of paired study. With a study partner (or two), you are invited to read, question, argue, make mistakes, free associate, and conceive of new ways to understand the text. It is your study partner—a friend, a peer, or a partner—who is your best travel-mate for a journey through Jewish texts. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, the Havruta program is open to you. Study some of the most beautiful texts of Jewish tradition with the study partner of your choice or come alone and we will help to pair you up. Each session will open and conclude with some illuminating words by our facilitator, who will answer questions and challenge study pairs to dig deeper and hone the issues raised by the text.=0D=0A=

Our theme this year is <b>Give Me Companionship or Give Me Death: Relationships in the Talmud.</b> Our lives can be understood as a history of the relationships we have maintained: those that succeeded, those that failed, and those that roll on through the highs and lows of life. The Talmud and Midrash provide a wonderful repository of stories and discussions that provide deep insight into our relationships: between friends, parents and children, women and men, and teachers and students. Unpack these stories, noticing the literary structures, the metaphors, and the dramatic conflicts, as we use the stories to enrich our own relationships and to discover contemporary wisdom in ancient texts.=0D=0A=
