Pesah: Webinar for Rabbis

Join JTS for a free webinar for rabbis designed to inspire you in your preparation of Pesah derashot and teaching this year. This program is offered in collaboration with the Rabbinical Assembly.

When, How and Why are We Free? Revisiting the Concept of Herut

This is a year when many of us are having trouble thinking of Pesah as zeman herutenu. What has the term herut meant to our ancestors, and what does and/or can it mean to us now?

Tuesday, March 31, 12:00 p.m.–1:15 p.m. Eastern Time

This webinar is presented by Rabbi Eliezer Diamond.
