The Temple Emunah Talmud Study Group invites you to join our ongoing study of Tractate Berakhot. All who are interested are welcome to join; knowledge of Hebrew is not required, since Dr. Stillman translates all Hebrew source materials during the study group sessions. Dr. Isaac Ely Stillman studied rabbinics and Jewish thought at Har Etzion, Israel, with Rabbis Yehuda Amital and Aharon Lichtenstein. A graduate of Yeshiva University, he was a student of Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik z'tz'l, and studied in Boston with Professor Isadore Twersky, the Talner Rebbe, z'tz'l. Dr. Stillman teaches Talmud and rabbinic thought throughout the Boston area; his approach reflects the multifaceted potential of Torah study, exploring fundamental principles and esoteric concepts within a historical context. He is on staff at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School where he practices surgical and renal pathology.
