    Project Zug at the Rosen Library:

    For centuries, Jews have engaged in study “hevruta-style”: working in pairs and reaping the benefits of different viewpoints and from the excitement and engagement of a study partner. The Rosen Library is partnering with Project Zug, a national initiative from Hadar Institute that supports paired hevruta learning, as our first step in making the Rosen Library a learning hub for Temple Emanu-El.

He divides the book into roughly 3 parts, the first, where God is intimately involved with His people, the second, after the destruction of the Temple in 70CE, and the third, where God is hidden and withdrawn from us, expecting us to read and hear and act upon what He has already given us in writings and commentary. Greenberg posits that today, we have ‘radical freedom’ to choose how to act, and it is our responsibility to act with love.</p</span> <a href="/library/nirr?post_id=1693288" class="slider_link" target=""> Read More </a>
