Nach Shiur: Channah & the Birth of Shmuel 1

Nach: Channah and the Birth of Shmuel 1Times: Thursdays 3pm: May 1st, May 8th, May 15th, May 22nd, May 29thDescription: Many Jews are very well acquainted with the stories of the Torah. They hear about them in synagogue or perhaps learned of them in Hebrew school. The same cannot be said for the rest of the Tannakh (Torah, Neviim, Ketuvim=Hebrew Scriptures). Nach, or the prophets and writings section of the Tannakh, are collected essential stories, teachings and history of the Jewish people through the creation of the second Temple. Together, we will study the story of the incredible female hero- Channah and the story of the miraculous birth of her child Samuel. We will try to analyze the discussion of the story, verse by verse, within the Jewish medieval commentary tradition. We will endeavor to absorb the lessons of what these stories can mean for us today. Text Sheet: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kmcydb44mhlcf0qktic2n/Nach_-The-Story-of-Hannah-the-Birth-of-Samuel.docx?rlkey=csabg9bepz21ibcou8iuml6bz&st=wkc41fy7&dl=0
