Performance | Comedy: The Dept. of Etc Presents: The Miracle of Birth, Part 1 (of 1)


By executive order, the Dept of Etc is currently engaged in group-wide contraception in the interests of the environment and their careers. To offset the barren wasteland that is their collective reproductive systems, they have created a show of sketch all about birth and rebirth, production and reproduction. O Birth! whether engendered of booze or fertility pills, we can all agree that at some point between the first trimester and weaning, a human being is created. How hilarious is that? Hilarious enough for an hour of sketch? No? How about 45 minutes? Deal.

Lecture | Walking the Tightrope of Creativity and Torah Analysis; Holiness vs.Destruction


Darkah Shel Torah, also known as Kadmas Ha’amek, was originally published as a preface to the Netziv’s magnum opus, Ha’amek She’elah. This work, consisting of three sections, strives to demonstrate how the true path of Torah becomes realized through the proper application of analysis and the development of the proper character and attitude for discovering God’s truth. With such an approach, the Jew becomes closest to God through the study of Torah, as both the Jewish Nation and the Torah emanate from the same Divine source. Speaker: Rabbi Elchanan (Arnold) Greenman studied Talmud and Codes for four years with Rav Aharon Soloveichik at Yeshivas Brisk of Chicago, where he received his rabbinic ordination in June, 1977.
