Within its pages you’ll find Jewish ethics\, ancient customs\, legends\, and even mystical calculations about the beginning and the end of time. Traditionally attributed to Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus\, a 2nd-century sage\, the text was likely compiled in the eighth or ninth century. \nJoin Rabbi Russ for a fascinating journey through this remarkable work—a tapestry of storytelling\, interpretation\, and spiritual imagination. Together\, we’ll explore how Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer reshapes familiar biblical narratives\, connects them to enduring Jewish values\, and invites us to see Torah through a lens of creativity and wonder. \nEach session will combine close reading with lively discussion\, making the class accessible to both newcomers and seasoned learners. \nCome discover why Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer has captivated readers for centuries—and how its timeless insights continue to inspire and challenge us today. \nRegistration not required\, but appreciated. \n\n \n \n Seudah Shelishit Registration Form\n Please use this form to register for the entire course. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n PhoneHow many attendees would you like to register?
