Aggadeta: Berachot 2a - Initial Reading of the Talmud - Class 28 Class highlights: initial reading of the first passage of the Talmud; Sepharadic and Ashkenazi rabbis who could have belonged to the opposite ideological camp; intentionally omitting "Sepharadic" in Shiviti's name, mission statements, and subdivisions; learning Torah from everywhere; truth-seekers will ultimately appreciate truth; a tangent on Korbanot (sacrifices); temporary severing of ties between the Creator and the Jewish people is never permanent; universal messages the Jewish people have for the world and their ineffectiveness in accomplishing this goal; humility on behalf of newcomers to the Jewish community; the difference between Rabbi Yehuda Halevy's Kuzari and Rambam's Moreh Nevuchim; converts to Judaism are role models for our children; and more!
