Examining The Rational Bible: Exodus by Dennis Prager
It’s not every day that somebody publishes the first volume of a new Torah commentary. It is even more rare when such a work comes from a self-described non-Orthodox Jew who nevertheless believes that the Torah comes from God. Add to the mix that the author of this April 2018 volume, Dennis Prager, has his own radio talk show that sparks controversy, and that this commentary is being read by many non-Jews … It all adds up to this being an important work for us to read, evaluate, and discuss. Come and join us on Monday mornings at Temple Sinai as we do just that!
Cost: $65 for 13 sessions.
2018 dates: Oct. 15, Oct. 22, Oct. 29, Nov. 5, Nov. 12, Nov. 26, Dec. 3; 2019 dates: Feb. 4, Feb. 18, Feb. 25, Mar. 4, Mar. 11, Mar. 18
