In the opening verses of this week's Torah portion, Lech Lecha, we watch as God calls to Abram and tells him to leave the only life and home that he had ever known and to go out to an unknown land. The portion traces the beginning of the journeys of Abram and his wife Sarai, including the incredible and mystical holiness of God's covenant with Abram as well as the family's struggles and the moments when they failed.

We Are Excited to Announce Our New "Chai Mitzvah" Program
Our tradition tells us that an integrated Jewish life involves head, heart and hand - study, spirituality and social action.
Explore all of these on your terms, with your personal interests, through a new initiative called
Chai Mitzvah
.
You will participate in a learning group that meets every other month with a specially-designed curriculum that focuses on real life, relevant issues.
You will also choose an individual study topic that is personally interesting to you, adopt a new ritual or deepen an existing practice, and engage in a social action activity.
Then, at the end of this two-year program, you can celebrate your journey!
