From SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva:
The Rabbis teach us that in order to be a player—someone who shapes the tradition—you need two things: 1) gemirna, deep learning 2) sevirna, moral intuition This fall, drop into some ✨ GEMIRNA WORKSHOPS ✨ designed to help you get your gemirna as you become a player! Join us Thursdays, November 4th & 11th 7:00-8:30 PM ET | 6:00-7:30 PM CT | 5:00-6:30 PM PT. Here's our glittery lineup:
✨THE JASTROW DICTIONARY: A COMPREHENSIVE TOUR ✨ on November 4 with SVARA Fellow Binya Kóatz Translating Talmud got you stumped? Join SVARA Fellow Binya Kóatz for a tour of the Jastrow dictionary that will give you some tips and tricks for how to look up a word and decode all of the goodies that can help you get the most glittery definitions of your words.
✨ BINYAN BASICS DRESSING UP OUR ROOTS: ✨ on November 11 with SVARA Learning Coordinator & Fellow Amir Weg Hifil, Pu’al, and Piel, oh my! What is a BINYAN and how can it help you as you’re digging into Talmud learning and beyond? As we know, Hebrew has this phenomenon of ROOTS—those delicious, usually three-letter kernels of meaning we encounter when we go word by word! We turn Hebrew roots into verbs by putting on one of seven outfits (patterns of prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and vowels) called BINYANIM, which transform the meaning of the root in characteristic ways. Whether it’s your first encounter with binyanim or you’re coming back for some re-grounding, come learn how to play grammar dress-up and get to know how this grammatical system works!
Come for one or both of these standalone sessions!
