Freedom Midrash: Exodus from Egypt, then and now
Yeshivat Talpiot will be launching a new learning and action series, starting Monday March 4th on the topic of Freedom, Passover and asylum seekers. Jerusalemites are invited into the Beit Midrash to delve into the Passover seder and the Rabbinic creation of this ritual of freedom.
Three learning sessions will conclude with a trip into the field: we will meet with modern day refugees and asylum seekers who have made their way from Africa via Egypt to Israel. In addition we will talk with activists and learn about how we can help these freedom seekers. Amit Gvaryahu, of Yeshivat Talpiot and Hebrew University will teach and facilitate the series and we will partner with Rabbis for Human Rights.
For details please visit our Hebrew site.

In a renewed look at the Hagadda and Talmudic Midrash through the eyes of modern Israel, we are creating religious language to help us face today's moral challenges. Here is a taste of what we learned in the last month's series. Continue Reading Here
