We cannot WAIT to spend time soaking in Torah with y’all

Alefbet isn't required.

We’ll be studying an amazing sheet of rabbinic stories and statements about the nature of Torah.

Here’s more about it:

Torah is the fundamental text of Judaism. When it was given to us on Mount Sinai, there was thunder, clouds, and 40 days of drama. Mount Sinai itself is in a desert in the middle of nowhere. What can the nature of the Torah's revelation - its elemental aspects, its location (outside of the Holy Land!) - teach us about Judaism's purpose in this world? Find out with us!
