Each week, the Torah connects deeply with Jewish life as we know it today – in our homes, in our communities, and in the rituals we practice.
This year in Beit Midrash, we will explore how the weekly portion links to familiar Jewish customs, holiday observances, or lifecycle rituals. From Kiddush and Shabbat candles to the wedding veil and the Passover seder, each session will bring out the ancient roots of practices that are still vibrant today. We’ll draw from a variety of texts and sources – biblical, rabbinic, historical, and contemporary – to uncover meaning
and relevance for modern Jewish living. Come every session or just drop in – all are welcome!
