Saturday Mornings

TORAH STUDY, 9:15AM

During Covid we conduct Torah Study over Zoom, 9:15am.  Everyone is welcome: https://zoom.us/j/810166610

On Shabbat mornings from September to June, we normally meet in person at 9:15am for Torah Study and bagels – no prior experience required. Most weeks, we continue with Shabbat Services at 10:30am in the sanctuary as one of our fabulous Religious School students becomes a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, leading us in prayer along with our clergy.

These gatherings often coincide with holidays, communal celebrations, or guest scholars and artists, so mark your calendars now so you don’t miss them!

Here is a typical schedule for these gatherings:
