SOLD OUT: PaRDeS with Pride and Prejudice

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

SOLD OUT: Join the waitlist!

PaRDeS is a close reading tool that Jews have been using for hundreds of years to read scripture more closely. It can also be adapted and used to read secular books that we cherish. We will take the first sentence of Pride and Prejudice and do PaRDeS with it and discuss what it means to treat secular things as if they were sacred.
