Members of our Chavurah
gather to study in three distinct ways. First, as part of our Kabbalat
Shabbat service, it is customary for the leader to prepare a d'var torah.
Often times this presentation leads to a discussion of the themes of the
weekly sidra. Second, we gather for formal study. This year, we
have chosen to work through the Book of Judges (reading assignments are
listed below). Third, members of the
Chavurah routinely raise questions and generate informal discussion about a
variety of issues. This page contains resources to support all three
of these activities of study.
