Dates: 10 weeks, Thursdays 12:15 – 1:15 PM February 16^th – May 4^th (no class April 6^th and April 13 for Passover)

Class is currently meeting virtually, and will discuss the possibility of returning to in-person sessions this Spring as a group.

Join our long-standing cohort of Torah learners to discuss Torah each week.
The class is currently studying Genesis at a leisurely pace. We discuss up to a chapter of text each week and will be focusing on the life of Jacob, Rachel, Leah and their family. This small group of learners has been meeting together for many years and is excited to welcome some new faces into their close-knit community. Resources include traditional rabbinic literature, art, modern scholarship and translations, etc.
