Make Torah Part of Your Week

For thousands of years, Jews have lived with the weekly Torah portion.

Not simply reading what happened thousands of years ago, but asking:

What is this week’s Torah saying to me?

The Torah is not only our history. It is a guide for living. Each week’s parsha gives us a new lens through which to think about our relationships, our struggles, our faith, our responsibilities, and the kind of people we want to become.

That is what this weekly class is about.

Join us on Tuesday evening for an engaging exploration of the weekly Torah portion and the timeless Jewish ideas within it.

Together, we’ll take a deeper look at the parsha, uncover insights from Torah, Talmud, Midrash, Chassidic teachings, and Jewish thought, and discover how those ideas speak directly to modern life.

You don’t need a background in Torah study, and you don’t need to commit to attending every class. Each session stands on its own.

Come when you can. Join us in person or online.

But come regularly, and something deeper begins to happen: Torah becomes part of the rhythm of your week.

We’d love to have you learning with us.
