LimmudVan'20

Based upon the teachings of an array of Sephardic sages, we will examine the features that distinguished their philosophy, method of Biblical interpretation, and approach to Jewish law from those of their Ashkenazic counterparts, and how these differences continue to impact the character and evolution of their respective congregations and communities to this day. As part of our study, we will consider whether Maimonides was correct in his estimation that classical Sephardic Judaism was years ahead of its time.
