Join us for a lecture, “Lessons from Second Temple Sectarianism for Modern Denominationalism” with Rabbi Richard Hidary.
As much as the contemporary Jewish community laments denominational splits that developed in modern times, such groups are not new to our nation. This lecture will examine the sectarian infighting during the Second Temple period to find out how the sects arose, what issues prompted their debates, how it ended, and what lessons we can learn from this rich and fascinating historical era.
If cost is a concern, please email us. Open to men and women.
