Description
We will study Masechet Berachot 8a-8b, the sugya of שניים מקרא ואחד תרגום. Is this an extension of the communal obligation of Krias HaTorah? Or is it essentially an independent mitzva of Talmud Torah focused primarily on Torah Shebalpeh? We will study issues re: when and how to read the Mikra and what constitutes Targum. Our focus will be the many insights of the Aruch Hashulchan. We will emphasize that whereas the Rambam codifies this obligation in the context of Krias HaTorah, the Shulchan Aruch classifies it in Hilchos Shabbos.
