This year's classes begin September 8, 2014 at 9 am at The Jewish Experience Center
399 S Monaco Pkwy, Denver
SEFER HaCHINUCH (The Book of Mitzvah Education):
A Text-Based Tour of the Inner Dimensions of the 613 Mitzvot

with Aliza Bulow

Delve into the mysteries and the meanings of the 613 biblical mitzvot. Learn why mixing species of plants is forbidden (due to conflicting angelic forces) and why we may not break a bone of the Pascal sacrifice (the Torah takes a behaviorist approach). Find out what we think of witches (we must believe in them if there is a mitzvah to destroy them), and what it means to remember Amelek (when we are told to wipe out every remnant of them).  Philosophy, esoteric ideas, practical application, thoughtful conversation and interesting women all converge in this multi-year long series based on the book Sefer HaChinuch, The Book of Education.

*While this class is geared toward the more experienced learner, beginners are also welcome. Upon request, special time will be set aside for beginners either before or after the class for questions and discussion.

Meets Mondays from 9-10 at The Jewish Experience Center during the school year, click here to contact for more details 
New for 2013/5774: Newest classes are on the bottom of the page and are now listed by mitzvah number discussed.
Note: The early Sefer HaChinuch classes are listed, for the most part, with an S and a C number. S is for session, C is for class. There are 3 sessions a year with varying amounts of classes per session. Sefer HaChinuch S4 C2 would refer to session 4 class 2. Later sessions have the numbers of the mitzvot covered in the class listed in the title. Please contact me by email or by contact form on this website to get the corresponding sheets upon which to write notes while listening to the classes.
