What Comes After Torah? The Books of the Jewish Library

Abra Greenspan

While most of us are familiar with Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, these are only the first five books of the great texts of the Jewish people.  What comes after Torah?  There are the Prophets and the Writings that comprise the TaNaKh, the Hebrew Bible and so much more.  In this workshop, we’ll be introduced to other classic works on the Jewish bookshelf including Mishna, Gemara, Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, Mishneh Torah, Zohar and others. What are they? Who wrote them? And, how do they inform our Jewish lives today?
