ABOUT THIS CLASS: The dynamics of individuality and community within Jewish settings ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rabbi Aberson, who prefers to be addressed as ‘Rabbi Brodie’, received his ordination from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies. His degrees include an MA in Middle Eastern Studies from Ben Gurion University of the Negev and a Certificate in Education from the American Jewish University. He also has a BA in Anthropology from Muhlenberg College. Rabbi Brodie’s driving goals are to connect Jews to their traditions, their texts, and to each other. He believes, “By building stronger relationships with each other and our traditions we can build even better communities.” Rabbi Brodie believes Jewish education goes far beyond Bar or Bat Mitzvah. One of his goals is to instill a love of Judaism across the generations. “I felt the love and warmth that this congregation is known for from the first moment I stepped onto the TBSEV campus,” Rabbi Brodie continued, “I am excited to become a part of it, and cherish the opportunity to dedicate my life and work to serving Temple Beth Sholom of the East Valley. I hope to make a positive impact, and help guide the way towards another 70 years of Jewish life and learning in the East Valley.” DONATE: www.bit.ly/1NmpbsP​​​​​​ LEARNING MATERIALS: www.valleybeitmidrash.org/wp-content/u…-MOSHE-1.pdf For podcasts of VBM lectures, GO HERE: www.valleybeitmidrash.org/learning-library www.facebook.com/valleybeitmidrash BECOME A MEMBER: www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member Valley Beit Midrash is proud to host the Jaburg Wilk Learning Season.

Hitaloot HaOlam-The Elevation of Existence Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook TZ’L (1865- 1935) is considered by many to be the preeminent teacher of the Torah’s full illumination for our epoch. He was the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel from 1920-1935. The close circle of extraordinary students around him came to the conclusion that he was experiencing prophecy. He was the first one to refer to Medinat Israel-The State of Israel (in his writings in 1906) and his influence on the rebirth of Israel physically and spiritually is incalculable and growing. In our ten sessions, we will learn the foundational roots of his teachings and the soaring wings of his vision. The first five sessions will be devoted to the five foundations of his worldview- as defined by his premier student Rabbi David Cohen-HaRav HaNazir TZ’L (with Rav Kook’s agreement). ★ Support this podcast ★

ABOUT THIS EVENT: The commandment to remember the Exodus serves as both a theological and ethical principle which has accompanied the Jewish people throughout our history. Rather than being a static and unchanging perspective on the past, however, this mitzvah has given voice to the responsibilities and hopes of Jews for liberation in different times and varying circumstances of persecution. This raises the question of what role the story of the Exodus plays for American Jews and how it informs both our ethical responsibilities today and how we engage in the study of textual traditions composed by those under oppression.

A virtual presentation by Dr. David Shyovitz. “The family that prays together,” the famous adage goes, “stays together.” Indeed, many people of faith take for granted that religious observance strengthens spousal, parental, and inter-generational relationships. But to pre-modern Jewish theologians, it was far from obvious that the family was a religiously meaningful institution. Biblical interpreters, mystics, and moralists questioned whether bonds between husbands and wives, or even parents and children, were strictly human constructs, conventional means of structuring the social order–or whether they reflected underlying, preexisting, enduring spiritual realities. This lecture will explore the ways in which medieval Jews used eschatological theology (speculation about the afterlife and the apocalypse) as a means of; thinking through the theological underpinnings of familial relationships. As we shall see, these medieval theological debates have had lasting, and surprising, implications for the development of Jewish liturgy and rituals. ★ Support this podcast ★

Although we generally think of emotions as experiences of individuals, a great deal of recent research demonstrates that emotions are often socially formed and serve social roles. Societies define when certain emotions are appropriate and often cultivate individuals to experience these emotions in particular circumstances. By endorsing or condemning the experiencing and displaying of particular emotions, groups seek to regulate the behavior of their members. A prime example of the effort at shaping emotional experience is how societies through a variety of media, written, visual, oral, deploy the emotion of “fear.” A group can come to be defined by the people or developments it should fear. The politics of fear is rampant in our world today, as the events of the past year amply demonstrate cultures, religions, and societies, however, have endorsed or condemned “fear” over the course of human history. “Fear” is the most commonly mentioned emotion throughout the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). Although there has been a good deal written about “fear” in the Tanakh, including both the fear of God and the fear of humans, the limited analysis of references to “fear” in rabbinic texts has focused primarily upon the fear of the divine, with little investigation of what these texts say about interpersonal fear. In my shiur I will examine what early rabbinic texts say about who and what we ought and ought not to fear. We will come to see how these texts seek to shape the emotions and behaviors of both individuals and groups.

Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook TZ’L (1865- 1935) is considered by many to be the preeminent teacher of the Torah’s full illumination for our epoch. He was the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel from 1920-1935. The close circle of extraordinary students around him came to the conclusion that he was experiencing prophecy. He was the first one to refer to Medinat Israel-The State of Israel (in his writings in 1906) and his influence on the rebirth of Israel physically and spiritually is incalculable and growing. In this first session, we will look at HaKodesh HaKlali - The Universal Holiness!
