Devarim I: Reading Deuteronomy Through A Different Lens

Author: Kehillat Israel July 25, 2020 Duration: 59:34

Rabbi Amy Bernstein's weekly Torah study class - Deuteronomy 1:1-2:1 - July 24, 2020.

Due to the current coronavirus crisis and the guidelines of the State of California and the City of Los Angeles, it was not possible for the class to meet with Rabbi Bernstein at Kehillat Israel. So she conducted the class on the internet via Zoom with the students paticipating from their homes. Rabbi Bernstein will continue to conduct the class via Zoom until it is possible to once again get together in person.


Each week, the community at Kehillat Israel in Los Angeles gathers to explore tradition, text, and contemporary life. The Kehillat Israel Podcasts bring those conversations directly to you, offering a window into the synagogue's vibrant intellectual and spiritual life. You'll find recordings from the weekly Friday morning Torah study, where ancient passages are unpacked with modern relevance, alongside sermons from holiday services, special classes, and public events. This podcast reflects the inclusive and thoughtful ethos of its community, honoring diverse backgrounds while being firmly grounded in Jewish cultural and religious tradition. Guided by Reconstructionist principles, these discussions actively engage with the wisdom of the past while thoughtfully considering present-day questions. Whether you're seeking deeper study, spiritual reflection, or a sense of connection to a living community, this series provides an authentic audio experience. It’s a chance to listen in on meaningful dialogue that values inquiry, inclusivity, and the ongoing evolution of Jewish thought.
