Torah is the instruction for life.
I am sitting in class during the two-week retreat of Jewish Studies for women in the Twin Cities, MN. The class is titled “From Generation to Generation: Trace the origin of Jewish Laws, customs, and traditions.”
“If you were to open up the Torah, you would find stories,” said my teacher Leah Abraham. “The stories teach us about ourselves and how to serve G-d.”
To illustrate how the Torah shapes our views today, the teacher brings up the craziest story I have ever heard.
It is about goat uteri. It comes straight from the Talmud. And it shapes the lives of every Jewish woman.
Enjoy the video; it’s an excerpt from the class lecture.
