Parashat Hayyei Sarah (חיי שרה) — Shalshelet: Making God’s Presence Present

Parashat Hayyei Sarah 2014/5775 (Triennial II) -- Shalshelet: Making God's Presence Present One of the most unique "trope" (cantillation) marks in the Torah is the "Shalshelet" -- a squiggly line that looks like a thunder bolt. This trope mark only appears four times in the Torah (seven times in the Bible), including in this week's Torah portion (Genesis 24:12). What is so unique about the Shalshelet and what is it trying to teach us? Join us for this fascinating class as we see how the Shalshelet helps us understand the nature of God's presence in the world.
