A five-week course on the destruction and rehabilitation of our People and our Land
Why are so many books of the Bible about the devastation of Israel in 586 BCE? What is so crucial about that event and what can it teach us today? As we approach Tisha B’Av, this course will give a new fresh reading of exile and redemption in Tanach which has its origins in the Garden of Eden. This summer LSJS is very proud and privileged to host R. Leibtag who will transform your view of Jewish history forever.
Rabbi Menachem Leibtag is an internationally acclaimed Bible scholar and lecturer, and a pioneer of Jewish education on the internet. His highly original approach blends deep traditional Tanach study with the best of modern biblical thinking. He has taught at Yeshivat Har Etzion for over twenty years where he set up the Virtual Bet Midrash and the Tanach Study Centre. His online essays are read by literally thousands of subscribers worldwide.
R. Leibtag also teaches at Yeshivat Shalavim, Midreshet Lindenbaum, MMY, Orot, and at Yeshiva University’s Gruss Center. He is a regular Scholar in Residence in communities across North America and is a guest lecturer for Jewish students at Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, NYU, Penn, and Brandeis.
