The Whole Megillah!

A new class, beginning on February 5th at 10:30 AM and continuing until March 12. The class will be available both in-person and on Zoom.

The Scroll or Megillah of Esther was the last book added to the Hebrew Bible and engages with many issues that continue to be concerning to Jews today including Jewish life in diaspora, antisemitism, assimilation, political violence, the transmission of heritage and much more! As we look ahead to a joyous Purim weekend, join us for a class that will explore some of the juiciest conversations of the Talmudic rabbis in tractate Megillah.

Tuesday Torah in our Times Discussion

Tuesdays, 4:30 PM, TI Chapel
(prior to Minyan service at 5:30pm)

This is an evolution of a space for conversation, learning, and community-building that Rabbi Friedman has been facilitating on and off over the past 15 months. The goals are tri-fold: to bring Torah into conversations with issues and topics that are relevant in current events, to build relationships and community through substantive conversation about Torah and contemporary issues, and to move beyond the polarized and partisan tone and tenor of public discourse about current issues through grounding ourselves in ancient Jewish teachings.
