Join us to study the weekly Torah portion through a liberal Jewish lens. Rabbi Micah Streiffer helps bring Torah to life each week through interactive discussion.
We have two groups: “Torah From the Beginning” is intended for those who are just starting a journey of Jewish learning. “Digging Deeper into Torah” is for learners who have some basic knowledge and want to know more.
Both groups are inclusive and interactive. We learn a lot and have a great time!
