What is Torah?

Wednesdays, June 4, 11, and 18, 2025; 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

The word "Torah" is a tricky one because it can mean different things in different contexts. This class, taught by Rabbi Adena Blum, will unpack the meaning of the word and its significance to our Jewish practice and values.

Angels & Demons in Jewish Tradition

Wednesdays, July 2, 9, 16, and 23, 2025; 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Lilith, Dybbuk, Golem... Jewish texts are filled with allusions to supernatural forces that exert control over the natural world. This class, taught by Cantor Jordan Goldstein, will examine how our tradition both embraces and pushes against superstitions. 

Curating Your Own Jewish Museum

Wednesdays, August 6, 13, and 20, 2025; 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join Rabbi Rebecca Kaufman and explore unusual Jewish art, old texts you haven't encountered, modern poetry, and places of Jewish significance. During this class, we will reflect on what these texts and artifacts mean to us and to our communities as we create our own Jewish museums.
