Event Details

Description

In 18th-century Eastern Europe, two visions of Jewish life took shape side by side: the Chasidim, who emphasized joy and personal connection to God, and the Misnagdim (literally, "the opponents"), who championed rigorous Torah study and rigid adherence to Jewish Law. Join Rabbi Dr. Gil Perl, Head of School at JLA, for this four-part series exploring the history, the key figures, and the lasting impact of this pivotal chapter in Jewish life.
