They are: honoring father and mother\, deeds of kindness\, early attendance in the House of Study morning and evening\, welcoming guests\, visiting the sick\, celebrating a wedding\, accompanying the dead\, investigating the meaning of prayers\, and making peace between fellow humans — and the study of Torah is equal to them all. \nThis 8-week class (February 5th – March 26th) will dive into these mitzvot through learning and through practice: we’ll alternate “learning weeks” and “lab weeks”\, first diving into primary sources to understand how Jews have thought about these commandments throughout history and then using what we’ve learned to put some of these ideas into practice. Each week we’ll ask\, how am I already practicing this individually? How does my community enact this? What can we do to better ingrain these practices of care into the fabric of our lives? \nWhile this is an ongoing to course\, all are welcome to attend as they are able. \nCovid & Access notes to come. \n \n \nOrganization: Base Bay URL:https://gatherdc.org/event/base-midrash-community-care-8/ LOCATION:RSVP for Address\, 1817 M Street Northwest\, Oakland\, CA\, 94618\, United States CATEGORIES:Learning ORGANIZER;CN="Frankie Sandmel":MAILTO:frankie.sandmel@moishehouse.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T203000 DTSTAMP:20260108T134238Z CREATED:20251222T160249Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260108T134238Z UID:10001118-1742409000-1742416200@gatherdc.org SUMMARY:Base Midrash: Community Care DESCRIPTION:What does it look like to create structures\, ritual\, and accountability around community care? \nA teaching so central it’s made it into daily prayer reads: \nThese are deeds\, the fruits of which one enjoys in this world\, and whose impact is felt in the World-to-Come.
