Hevra Torah Learning
Shabbat mornings, 9:15-10:15 am in the Library and on Zoom
Whether you bring a little one to religious school or you're just taking it easy at home, why not come spend Saturday morning in an engaging, stimulating and uplifting hour talking Torah? Some really nice folks come together and sit with our clergy to explore the portion of the week. No Hebrew or prior Torah study experience necessary!
Midrash Study Group
Wednesdays 12:00 - 1:00 pm on Zoom
This year the Talmud study group is switching to the study of Midrash, so it might be the perfect time for you to join us! Midrash is a genre of Jewish literature that uses stories, allegories and parables to interpret and elaborates upon biblical texts. The group discusses the midrash in order to generate deeper insights into both narrative and legal biblical texts and their underlying message for today. The group, facilitated by Martin Irwin, meets online most Wednesdays at noon. Click the link to register for the Zoom and access our resources.
Jewish Studies with Rabbi Barbara Symons
Thursdays 10:15-11:45 am in the Meeting Room and on Zoom
A beloved weekly study and discussion class originated by Educator Emerita, Harriet Levine z”l. The discussion is by Rabbi Symons. This year’s class is currently exploring Mussar, choosing a different middah (Jewish value) every few sessions.
