Yes, Beit Midrash is back! But what exactly is Beit Midrash, you ask. Literally it means "House of Learning" or, more colloquially, study hall. Our Beit Midrash is a delightful smorgasbord of delicious learning opportunities. See this flyer for all the general details. This flyer describes this month's offering.
Rabbi Harris will lead a trip to the Land of Israel. Watch this space for instructions on how to sign up!
Sometimes we venture away from our synagogue to celebrate Shabbat out in the community. Besides being new and interesting, this gives the opportunity to participate to those who might otherwise not be able to attend. We hope you can join us for Shabbat Out and About. Stay tuned for details about the next event.
