Torah Study

Ways to enjoy TES Torah Study:

  • Our monthly Mussar-themed Shabbat Torah Study with Julia Sommer and Diane Werich (2nd Shabbat of the month), in person and on Zoom
    • Every Second Shabbat/Saturday, 9-10 am, members Julia Sommer and Diane Werich will facilitate the Shabbat Torah Study as a Mussar Torah Study, building discussions largely based on the book, The Mussar Torah Commentary: A Spiritual Path to Living a Meaningful and Ethical Life, edited by Rabbi Barry Block. Each chapter in the book offers an essay by a rabbi or scholar about a mussar middah (value or character trait) central to the story of the weekly Torah portion.

 

  • Emily Simon’s multi-synagogue Zoom Torah Study, hosted by Havurah Shalom in Portland (3rd Shabbat of the month)

 

  • Cantor Randall’s “First Look” Zoom Torah Study on Sundays

 

  • Our long-standing weekly Tuesday Zoom Torah Study Group, led by members most weeks and by Rabbi Julie once a month

 

  • A new opportunity for us: joining Havurah Shalom’s ongoing weekly Shabbat Torah study by Zoom, which we have been warmly invited to attend anytime
