The biblical book of Psalms forms the foundation of much of Jewish liturgy. In this learning session, we will explore Psalm 15 and ask “are we worthy to enter the gates?” Together we will consider how these ancient texts can speak to contemporary spiritual life and how studying them as literature can deepen the experience of prayer.
Rabbi Michael Balinsky has taught at Beth Emet for many years.

Beth Emet uses budgeted funds and fees to support our adult education program. This year, instead of individual registration fees for specific classes, our goal is to secure $4,000 in donations to cover our costs. Please consider an optional donation to the adult education fund when you register to help sustain our commitment to lifelong learning.
