This Sunday, November 13, Jewish communities around the world will be joining in a “Global Day of Jewish Learning,” aiming to bring together Jewish people from around the world to study fundamental Jewish texts.
This year, the theme heeds the call of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, “Let my people know!” and focuses on the unity of the Jewish people through the “Shema.”
This year’s Global Day coincides with the launch of a new program by Shefa, the Steinsaltz center in Israel, entitled, “The Favorite Sugya.”
This program brings together a variety of people – from Torah scholars, to artists, to academics – to expound and share their thoughts on a sugya of Gemara that they find particularly interesting and important.
Therefore, as an introduction to “The Favorite Sugya” program and in conjunction with the Global Day of Jewish Learning, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz gave a lecture on his favorite sugyiot dealing with the Shema.
To participate in “The Favorite Sugya” program, which will take place weekly, go to hashefa.co.il
