Curious Tales of the Talmud – Student Textbook
$20.00
Everyone loves a good story. Knowing this, the sages of the Talmud used stories to encode messages about life that are far too deep and profound to communicate directly. This course decodes some of these extraordinary Talmudic mysteries to uncover layer within layer of insight into the nature of life, the universe, G-d, and man.
“Do you feel deeply about life?
Do you enjoy discovering new and interesting ideas?
Are you always looking for higher meaning and inspiration?
Nobody knows better than you where you will find meaning, but there are places that you’re likely to encounter it. Our newest course, Curious tales of Talmud: Finding personal meaning in the legends of our sages, will introduce you to a legendary world of insight that has fascinated scholars and mystics for millennia.
What is it about?
Judaism is full of deeply resonant and transformative wisdom. Some of its most profound ideas about life, the universe, the soul, and our relationship with g-d are encrypted in an unusual place-within peculiar and nonsensical Talmudic tales.
The Talmud’s zany legends tell of gargantuan sea creatures, vinegar-fueled lamps, idolatrous kings, rivers flowing upstream, and a debate of riddles between Jewish and Athenian sages. These intriguing legends are not usually accessible to the general public, nor are the profound pearls of wisdom that are encrypted within them.

When innocent people are wrongly convicted…

Fairness in justice simply cannot be left to chance.
In Crime and Consequence, we explore 3000 years of Jewish wisdom concerning criminal convictions, sentencing, crime prevention, and rehabilitation. We challenge our thinking, pondering the application of Talmudic principles to real and complex, modern-day cases, and we get to the heart of questions such as:
Should we consider testimonies given in exchange for a reduced sentence as reliable evidence?
What is the goal of punishing criminals? is it to gain retribution for the victim, keep criminals off the streets and safeguard from future crime, set an example and instill the fear of law, or to rehabilitate the criminal and reintroduce him to society?
Is life-without-parole a justifiable penalty? Is it within our right to sentence a man to death? When would these be warranted? Is there a better way?
