TALMUD, MIDRASH, and PRAYER:

In the wake of the destruction of the Second Temple two millennia ago,
a group of people we now call "The Rabbis" compiled the Talmud to
structure our lives with law, the Midrash to enhance our lives with
fantasy, and Prayer to surround our lives with God.  We'll study this
tripod of Judaism that has become our heritage, learning what it
contains and how its various parts continue to impact our lives today.
