Explore the life of Israeli soldiers through the fun and funny film, Zero Motivation. What is it like when your dream of glory is replace by your reality of desk duty in the middle of the desert? How do these young Israelis cope and keep each other motivated? How does this connect to you? Location to be announced. 

In this mixed-level community beit midrash, we'll encounter text from Talmud together -- first in chevrutot (study pairs), with materials and resources available to support and challenge everyone at their level, then weaving our ideas together in a larger discussion. The class will be consecutive, as we will learn through a chapter from week to week. Our learning will focus on the 9th chapter of Masechet Sotah, a tractate traditionally studied between Pesach and Shavuot, which deals with questions of communal responsibility, power, and leadership. Ability to sound out Hebrew letters and phrases is a pre-requisite, but no previous experience learning Talmud is necessary. Wondering if this is the right space for your learning?
