The Tanakh: New Perspectives

Instructor: Michael Satlow, Professor of Religious Studies and Judaic Studies at Brown University

How should we read the Tankah? Is it a source of ethical behavior and Jewish law? An accurate history of ancient Israel? A political document created to give authority to certain interest groups? A myth? A literary �ction?

This course will explore these, and other, approaches to the Tanakh, highlighting the diverse ways in which this pivotal text has been, and continues to be, read throughout history.

For more information and to register, please go to our website: www.teprov.org/Institute/DelveDeeper

You may also contact Rabbi Rachel Zerin: rzerin@teprov.org or: 401.331.1616

Delve Deeper is a project of Temple Emanu-El’s Kof�er Born-stein Families Institute of Jewish Studies, in partnership with Congregational Agudas Achim, Congregation Beth Sholom, Temple Sinai and the West Bay Chavurah.

Delve Deeper is an adult education initiative that brings dynamic teachers to teach in-depth, university level courses to a diverse group of adult learners in Greater Rhode Island.

Temple Emanu-El, in co-operation with the Rhode

Island State Council of Churches, will hold a series

of conversations on the dynamics of race in our

culture. Merciful Conversations on Race explores

how white privilege functions in society and in

religious communities, and the ways that it negatively

impacts people of color. The course seeks to create a

positive and trusting space to explore why race

conversations can be a struggle, provide help for

overcoming this challenge, and opportunities to

further racial reconciliation on both personal and

systemic levels.

These conversations will be based on a curriculum

developed by the United Church of Christ, with

materials adapted for conversations in a Jewish

context. Rev. Betsy Aldrich Garland and Pastor

Chontell Williams of the Rhode Island State Council

of Churches, along with Rabbi Wayne Franklin, will

guide the discussions.

These conversations will beheld at Temple Emanu-El,

99 Taft Ave, Providence
