Like most Jewish liturgy, the liturgy we use for taharah is a multi-level text spanning time, generations, and ideas. Different phrases in the liturgy reflect different historical stages in the development of the ritual and different ideas about the goals and efficacy of what we are doing.

Join us for an in-depth analysis of the texts of taharah and hopefully, a deeper understanding of the origins of the text we use will enable the texts to serve as gateways for greater and varied meanings in the ritual itself.*

This series includes three meetings:

1. The Texts of Rehitzah, physical washing
2. The Texts of Taharah, spiritual purification
3. The texts of Halbashah, dressing

*This class assumes a basic familiarity with the commonly used liturgy of Taharah.
