Rabbi Klein's Torah Study 2014-2015
Dear Torah Study Participants,
I am pleased to inform you that we will begin
another year of Torah Study together on Shabbat morning, September 6th at 9:15
a.m. in the Hartzmark Room at the Temple in Beachwood. This year our topic will be: The Torah:
Judaism's Master Story. And we will
consider this topic at length throughout the year by examining the Torah
Portion (the Parsha) of the week, week by week.
For several years now the Shabbat Morning Torah
Study Group has devoted its attention to a variety of biblical topics including
The Search for a Sturdy Faith, The Family, and Biblical Politics. This year we return to the Five Books of
Moses, Judaism's central book, and follow the calendar of synagogue readings.
The Torah begins at the beginning ... the
creation of the world ... and takes its story up to the moment when the Israelites are poised to
enter the Promised Land, the Land of Israel.
They are about to do so without the preeminent leader, Moses, who is
consigned to die before the people cross the Jordan River. In between the beginning and the end, the
Torah creates a vast panorama of remarkable individuals, dramatic incidents,
and fundamental and consequential ideas: Covenant, Faith, Ethics and Law, The
Ups and Downs of History, Hope, Community, Ritual, Service ... and many more.
As always, we will devote our first session to an
overview of biblical literature and biblical history, a consideration of some
of the themes, structure, and literary contents of the Hebrew Scriptures, the
place of the Bible in the history of Judaism, the division of the Torah into
weekly portions, and the Bible's essential wisdom about the human
condition. And since the new cycle of
readings does not begin until October 24th (the high holidays are late this
year!), this will give us a chance to spend more time on the great stories in
the Book of Genesis.
I am very much looking forward to another year of
exciting study and lively conversation.
I hope that you will be a regular participant in our discussions.
And, if you know others who might find pleasure
and meaning in Torah Study with old and new friends, please do invite them to
join us.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and
your loved ones a healthy, happy and fulfilling New Year.
Sincerely yours,
Roger C. Klein

Rabbi Klein's Torah Study 2013-2014
I am pleased to inform you that we will begin another year of Torah
Study together on Shabbat morning, September 7th at 9:15 a.m. in the Hartzmark Room at the Temple in Beachwood. This year our topic will be: Biblical Politics. It might be surprising to some that the Bible is concerned with political matters but the fact is that Scripture has a rich and nuanced view of issues such as: what does it mean to be a community? What are the proper goals of community? Who articulates these goals? Who leads the community and what are the uses and limits of power? What is the function and purpose of law? What makes certain wars legitimate? What is the relationship between the Jewish community and other communities? And how have post-biblical sages ... rabbis, philosophers, poets, statesmen ... drawn on biblical points of view to deal with issues of community organization, power and powerlessness throughout Jewish history? And what role has reflection on the Bible affected political thinking in early Zionism and Modern Israel?
As always, we will devote our first session to an overview of biblical
literature and biblical history, a consideration of some of the themes,
structure, and literary contents of the Hebrew Scriptures, the place of the Bible in the history of Judaism, and an attempt to summarize the Bible's wisdom about the human condition. Then we will launch into our topic and consider, first of all, the meaning of "politics" and the nature and concerns of political thinking.
I am very much looking forward to another year of exciting study and
lively conversation. I hope that you will be a regular participant in
our discussion. And, if you know others who might find pleasure and
meaning in Torah Study, please do invite them to join us.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a
healthy, happy and fulfilling New Year.

Rabbi Klein's Torah Study 2012-2013
Dear Torah Study Participants,
I am pleased to inform you that we will begin another year of Torah Study together on Shabbat morning, September 8th at 9:15 a.m.in the Hartzmark Room at the Temple in Beachwood. This year our topic will be: Doubt, Fear and Hope: The Bible's Search for a Sturdy Faith. We will look carefully at a variety of biblical individuals and authors who struggle with the problems, the precariousness, and the tragedies of life ... all of which stand in the way of developing and sustaining faith and often lead to skepticism, cynicism and despair; and, conversely, we will explore the reasons that making faith worth struggling for as well as the rewards of achieving a sturdy, realistic and mature faith. We will look at several passages rom The Five Books of Moses as well as the struggles of Jeremiah and Job and the authors of several biblical Psalms and of the Book of Lamentations. And we will reach into the rabbinic and modern periods, as well, and see how this "faith adventure" is undertaken by the likes of Rabbi Akiva, Judah Halevi and Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik.
As always, we will devote our first session to an overview of biblical literature and biblical history, a consideration of some of the themes, structure, and literary contents of the Hebrew Scriptures, the place of the Bible in the history of Judaism, and an attempt to summarize the Bible's wisdom about the human condition. Then we will launch into our topic. I am very much looking forward to another year of exciting study and lively conversation. I hope that you will be a regular participant in our discussion. And, if you know others who might find pleasure and meaning in Torah Study, please do invite them to join us.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a
healthy, happy and fulfilling New Year.
Sincerely yours,
Roger C. Klein
Rabbi
