Gretchen, the young leader of our Talmud study group of several years past, is applying to Hebrew Union College. She wants to become a rabbi. You go girl!
*Black pot was what the ancient rabbis, whose dialogues comprise the commentary on the Torah that is the Talmud, called themselves. Possibly derived from a nickname for Rabbi Zeira of the Jerusalem Talmud.
The black pots is what scholars of the Babylonian Talmud called themselves, oh, about 2,000 years ago. We Talmud scholars of Congregation Beth Israel deserve no less.
So I made up some coffee mugs, white with black handles and black interiors, with the typographical “Another Black Pot” across the top, with CBI’s name across the bottom. Just so.
