TORAH STUDY, MOST SATURDAYS 9:15-10:15AM

TORAH

Come for the bagels and coffee … stay for the warm community and the open, intellectually engaging discussion. Who comes to Torah study at Beth David? We are longtime enthusiasts who commit to coming every week, and newbies who show up once or twice a year. We are retirees and working parents; we are fluent in Hebrew, and we don’t know a single Hebrew letter. Each week, we read a section of the weekly Torah portion in English and discuss it from a modern perspective, alongside modern, ancient, or medieval texts Rabbi Kalisch shares to help illuminate the words of Torah in new ways. This fall, select Torah Study sessions will feature the opportunity to be part of a group evaluating a brand new Torah translation as part of the creation of a new forthcoming Reform Movement Torah Commentary. During the summer, Torah study is lay led. Torah Study meets some weeks via Zoom and some weeks in-person – please check the website or check your email for the current schedule. No prior knowledge is assumed or required. Drop in any week for the first time, or contact Rabbi Kalisch at  with any questions.

KEHILLAT/COMMUNITY SHABBAT

23c

While every Shabbat is an opportunity to connect as a community, several times a year on  Saturday morning, we gather for what we call “Community Shabbat” –a family-friendly celebration in which we learn, pray, and nosh together. These gatherings often coincide with holidays, communal celebrations, or guest scholars and artists.

Here is a typical schedule for these gatherings:

9:30 am – Parallel Learning for Children and Adults
10:30 am – Family-Friendly Shabbat Service
12:00 pm – Lunch
