Jewish wisdom belongs to everyone.
Our learning brings people together to explore tradition, wrestle with big questions, and connect Jewish thought to the lives we’re actually living. No background is required – only an open mind and a willingness to engage.
Weekly Torah Study · Fridays 12-1 PM
Every Friday on Zoom
Explore the weekly Torah portion
Join Rabbi Stephanie Crawley each Friday for an accessible and engaging exploration of the weekly Torah portion. Together, we delve into midrash, classical commentators, and modern voices.
No prior knowledge is needed and questions are always welcome – it’s a warm, open space to learn alongside others, whether you join every week or drop in when you can.
