Dear Friends, Next month, we're going to question the very foundations of Judaism! It’s all in our newest JLI course: "Judaism Decoded: The Origins and Evolution of Jewish Tradition." This is the most elegant and organized presentation I have ever seen explaining the core of our tradition. If you are a Jew alive today, no matter what you believe or practice, you won't want to miss this course! We'll be looking for evidence to support the veracity of Judaism as it is practiced today, we will uncover what is original and what was invented by the rabbis, and we will develop an understanding of how biblical law is adapted for modern times. If you have ever wondered: · What is the essential difference between Judaism and Christianity (Clue: it’s not about belief in JC!)? · What right do Talmudic Rabbis, who lived 1,500 years ago in Babylon, have to tell me how I should practice Judaism? · What authority do Rabbis today have to dictate Jewish Law? Or do they? · When, and to what extent, does a Beth Din have authority? · How could electricity and other mod-cons be forbidden on Shabbat when they didn’t even exist in Biblical/Talmudic times? then this Course is for you! Helen will call you soon in case you need more details. But if I’ve wetted your appetite sufficiently, please call her first on 9371 7300 ext 4. Please don’t delay; with the Aussie Dollar in free-fall we’re absorbing a lot of costs, but we can only offer the early-bird discount until April 24th Hoping to see you! On behalf of the Rebbetzin and all of us at South Head, wishing you Good Shabbos. Rabbi Benzion Milecki OAM

What has kept the Tradition intact for Millenia? For over 3,000 years Jewish Laws, Customs and Rituals have been studied, analysed and practiced .. with the passing of so many generations we need to ensure our current interpretation and understanding are valid.
