"Unfortunately, many people know the holiday of #Purim, which occurs next week, only as the “#Jewish #Halloween” – as a big dress-up (or strip-down) party celebrated with meaningless mirth and carnival-like abandon.

I beg to offer a more sober, #theological, and #kabbalistic gloss on the #holiday.
#Tanach (the Bible), #Talmud, #Halacha, and #Kabbalah elevate #wine from beverage to blessing – linking joy to holiness, song to gratitude, and harvest to hope.

Drinking wine on Purim is a method of catapulting our consciousness to a perfected world where God’s presence is dominant and evil is vanquished.

Throughout the Jewish canon, beginning with the Bible, the vital relationships between man and woman, between man and God, and between the Jewish people and their God are expressed via the metaphors of vine and wine."

Shalom, friends! Welcome to “A Woman in An Act of Desperate Creativity: Chana’s Prayer Deep Dive with Ammud Rabbinic Intern Sass Brown.” In this chevruta session, Sass and I learn from the story of the prophet Chana as told in the Tanach, and the Talmud, to discover how Jewish prayer was shaped and defined by a woman. We also find some modern takeaways from Chana’s bold actions.

About Ammud: Ammud exists to empower Jews of Color by providing community and personalized support to gather and learn, unchallenged in their Jewishness. They provide access to the Jewish education needed to be empowered members and leaders of the broader Jewish community, creating space to celebrate marginalized customs and traditions and (re)build culture.

Shalom, friends! Come with me and my chevruta Geo on a deep dive study session for Bava Batra 16, discussing the Book of Job, God’s besties, and…um, SATAN!?!? (FYI: this is a longer video, so pop your popcorn and settle in!) 🍿#dafyomi #DafReactions #chevruta #talmud #torah #tanach #bookofjob

Hey folks, if you're looking for a random quote from the Tanach (aka the Jewish Bible), you can follow @pasukbot !

#Tanach #Bible #Judaism

Danke, @Gutemiene - stimmt halt nur so nicht. Das rabbinische #Judentum führt die Auslegung (!) des #Tanach schon seit 2 Jahrtausenden im #Talmud. Das katholische Lehramt betont Auslegung + Tradition (Konzilien, Enzykliken usw.)

Und #Luther scheiterte mit #solascriptura schon am #Sonntag vs. biblischem #Schabbat.

Bitte meine Freundlichkeit nicht mit Inkompetenz verwechseln. Danke & giten Rosch! ☺️🙏🖖

Found out while working that the Talmudology blog is run by Jeremy Brown, Dr. Erica Brown's husband! I didn't know (it's mentioned on the website, but in a really modest & understated way). Power couple!

Talmudology you can read online, and from Erica Brown I recommend her book-length treatment of Jonah, The Reluctant Prophet. (Then you can read more, but this is a good place to start.)
