Ongoing Programs
Torah Study
Torah study is held every Saturday at 9:30am from September/October to June in Room 125/127. Torah elevates, educates and builds up our community. Join one of our rabbis for an in-depth study of the weekly Torah portion which will surely enrich your soul and give you workable spiritual tools for Jewish living. Refer to the website calendar for the current year's start/end dates.
