<p>A truly awesome Rashi, buttressed by the Ramban's retort, and embellished by an Alshich! All along trying to answer the age old question, "What's so great about lighting a Menorah?" Enlightening.</p>

Why Torah Jazz?

The nature of these classes is meant to reflect Torah's nature as a song. For me, that song is Jazz. These are ideas that sparked my interest over the course of the week, got me thinking about themes and motifs, and riffing on them to see where it ends up. By not shying away from the tough questions, a Torah Jazz can hit some pretty unexpected notes and yet harmonize into a bigger concept. Dissonance and Harmony. Sturm und Drang. Contemporary and Classic. And that's a thing of beauty.
