Evening Torah Study
For congregants who are interested in learning more about Torah, lay-led Torah study will take place the second and fourth Mondays every month. The approach is entirely different than on Shabbat. It’s an enrichment program, where we’ve proceeded in depth verse by verse. A knowledge of Hebrew is helpful, but not necessary. For more information, please contact Marty Jacobs or Jeff Chebot. Open to all!
Book Club meeting
Our meeting will be on January 25 at 7 pm via Zoom. The book to be discussed is The Betrayers, a novel by David Bezmozgis.
Also, looking ahead, we will be reading Bertha Schwarz's memoir, Memories of a Stolen Childhood and Life Fulfilled, for our book club meeting on March 8.
