Torah on Tap - "Playing Nicely - Sibling Rivalries"
Thursday, December 5 at 7:30 pm
Thursday, December 5 at 7:30 pm
Genesis is full of fraught family dynamics – especially between siblings . In Parashat Vayetzei, which corresponds to the Parashat Hashavua for December 5th, we’ll compare the relationships between Rachel and Leah to their narrative foils: Jacob and Esau. We’ll debate our way towards insight into the power, comfort, and pain the Torah situates at the heart of these intimate family relationships. Join us for Torah study with our rabbinic intern Sarah Rockford and members of our community. RSVP to sarah@grjc.org for location.
