With Rabbi Jacob Leizman

Now that the beautiful renovations in Rebecca K. Crown Social Hall and Frank Memorial Hall are complete, come learn and discuss what the rabbis of the Talmud considered when they thought about synagogue renovations! We will study chapter 4 of tractate Megillah in the Babylonian Talmud, which brings up issues involved in building a synagogue, such as sources of funding, ownership, prioritization among synagogue materials, and more.
