  According to Senior Jewish Educator, Lex Rofeberg, the Mishna is “the best book you’ve never heard of.”  Why?  Because the Mishna usually gets overshadowed by the Gemara, its accompanying commentary.

  This fall, we will continue to give Mishna its due, as we resume studying  Mishna Brachot and then, Mishna Rosh Hashana.  Texts will be sent before each class.  Join us for the journey.
