Debunking the Myths of Bible Tales with Rena Schochet

We often think Bible Tales are cute, sweet, stories; but we sometimes believe them far-fetched and simplistic. The Torah does not tell us "stories" -  the Torah records incidents as a learning medium. There are profound and abiding messages for us to decipher within the Torah’s words, phrases, and language. How can we unravel these deep messages? We divine the Torah’s complexity through the nuances in language, the underlying depth of its phraseology, and allegories. We use these stories as a beginning point to delve further and further into the nuances of Torah. If you think some of the “stories" sound fantastical, wait as we attain the truth! We have the unbelievable “back story” to decipher, explain, and reveal! We will debunk the myths and uncover the levels of wonder and majesty. Ultimately, the “stories” are even more magical than even the wildest of Bible Tales you remember hearing! Join us as we delve into the rich waters of Torah education!
