The Winnipeg Jewish community will participate in the Global Day of Jewish Learning, the first worldwide, trans-denominational and nondenominational event devoted to Jewish learning. As momentum builds towards the culmination of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz’s 45-year quest to translate the Talmud, nearly 300 Jewish communities on six continents are planning study programs on the Global Day of Jewish Learning, Sunday, November 7, to mark the occasion. Winnipeg is joining communities in Mumbai, Havana, Detroit, Miami, Bratislava, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Washington, Moscow, Los Angeles, and all points in between in this historic event.
A PJ Library event will be held at 11 AM in the Library for Pj families.
The November 7 date was selected to coincide with Rabbi Steinsaltz's completion of the 45th and final volume of his translation and commentary on the Talmud, a monumental task he began in 1965, at age 27.
