Pass It On: The Transmission of Tradition in Literature and Law

The Center City Kehillah presents Learning in Pairs, a monthly community learning program. The Katz Center participates in March when Dr. Eli Schonfeld teams up with Rabbi Yochonon Goldman to discuss the modern crisis of tradition, through the surprising juxtaposition of Franz Kafka’s “Letter to His Father” and the biblical Hakhel event.

Time will be allotted for partnered study (all texts provided in English).

$10 suggested donation includes light kosher supper.

This program is part of our year-long series, Jews Beyond Reason: Celebrating Emotion, the Unconscious, and Other Dimensions of Jews' Inner Lives. In partnership with local host institutions, our aim is to connect fellows and colleagues with non-academic audiences in a spirit of shared exploration and mutual engagement.
