Project Talmud Draws Over 50
Students Who Attend Seminar
On Sunday, August 18th, the
Chabad House of Charlotte was
transformed into a talmudic acad
emy. Over fifty people attended
the seminar entitled Project
Talmud. The participants experi
enced an invigorating day of
Yeshiva life.
After a delicious breakfast,
everyone divided into small
study groups, traditionally called
chavrusot. Each chavrusa studied
the Tractate Kiddushin, which
focuses on the ceremony of
betrothal, customarily performed
under the chupah, when the cho-
son (groom) places a ring on the
finger of the kalah (bride).
The students then regrouped
and proceeded to listen to, as well
as participate in, a lecture on the
Tractate. The Mishnah, which is
the first written record of the oral
law, was explained by Moshe
Schneider. The Gemor^, which
explains and clarifies the
Mishnah, was then taught by
Rabbi Yossi Groner, the director
of Lubavitch of North Carolina.
After a satisfying lunch, the
studies were shifted to the code
of law composed by the great
twelfth-century scholar and
physician, Maimonides.
This session addressed the
practical application of laws
derived from the Talmud. Rabbi
Hesh Epstein, Director of
Chabad of Columbia, then
engaged the particpants in a
debate concerning Maimonides’
position on the procedure of
betrothal.
After this session. Rabbi
Binyomin Levin led a panel dis
cussion addressing many practi
cal applications of Halacha
(Jewish law) to modem life. The
issues ranged from euthanasia
and the preservation of embryos
to abortion and the preservation
of the environment. The discus
sion of each was centered on
Torah.
Rabbi Shlomo Cohen, coor
dinator of Project Talmud, con
cluded the program by summa
rizing Maimonides’ position on
the Messianic age—a time of
peace, harmony and a world unit
ed in the pursuit of divine knowl
edge.
Anyone interested in future
Project Talmuds or any of the
adult education programs offered
by Lubavitch of North Carolina
five nights a week should please
contact Rabbi Cohen at 366-
3984.
