Torah in the Woods

New learning for 5783! Torah in the Woods moves beyond the Torah.

Have you ever wondered what happens in the Hebrew Bible after Deuteronomy - if you turn the page forward instead of flipping back to Genesis? There is a whole world of Jewish history and story and poetry that follows in the Prophets and the Writings, and this year we are setting out to explore it, joining Jews worldwide in the 929 project started by the Israeli Education Ministry. We meet every Tuesday at noon via Zoom, with sessions led by Rabbi Lauren or Dr. Amy. Come when you can, even if not every week; no experience or Hebrew knowledge is expected or required. If you've ever felt, "You know, I really should read the whole Bible sometime," now's the time. As Hillel said, "If not now, when?"

All are welcome. Click here to join the meeting.
