Mishna Part II – Building the Portable Homeland

Introduction

This class explores the context of formation of the mishna as well as the nature of the work itself. On a deeper level it explores how the same power of argumentation which destroyed the Second Temple could be come the basis for a renewed Jewish life.

Listen now to Rabbi Mike Feuer in this live class recorded at Pardes as part of the Community Education program.
