A five part series wherein we will explore the storytelling soul of Jewish tradition through the lens of A Heavenly Torah by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Together we’ll delve into the world of Aggadah—the ethical, theological, and imaginative heart of Torah. From the binding of Isaac to the Oven of Achnai, from the Zohar’s cosmic myths to Hasidic tales of wonder and protest, we’ll study how stories have shaped Jewish thought and spiritual life. These are not just tales of the past, but living narratives that reveal the depths of divine encounter, human struggle, and the moral vision of our people.
