spirit of shabbat plus family Torah study

Bring Your Family to Spirit of Shabbat … Plus!

Saturday, Aug. 5 | 8:45 a.m. | Zeldin-Hershenson Hall | RSVP

So, you want to try out one of our clergy study classes, but you’re not quite ready to take the plunge. You’re interested in Torah and Talmud, but you don’t want to be the new kid in school. Again. And you certainly don’t want to feel like you’re prepping for a midterm.

On Saturday, Aug. 5, we invite you to give us a try as we bring you Spirit of Shabbat … Plus!, a super-sized edition of our Saturday-morning Torah study. Think of it like Disney+, but without the subscription fees.

The week of July 30-Aug. 4, there will be no regular clergy classes. Instead, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback, Rabbi David Woznica, Rabbi Sari Laufer, and Rabbi Josh Knobel will come together for a family-friendly morning of learning and community (and, of course, food!).

Bring Your Kids!

Spirit of Shabbat … Plus! will also be the perfect time for you and your family to test drive our Center for Youth Engagement. As you learn and bond with clergy and community members (maybe getting to know some of your future classmates?), your children will get to learn and play with our CYE coaches and staff.
