Ongoing Events
Post-Kiddush Study with Dr. Davin Wolok 
Finding Peace in the Tumult: The Torah's Courageous Therapy for the Soul PostKiddush 
                      

Please join Dr. Davin Wolok for Post-Kiddush Study session. The unifying theme is: "Nurturing the Spark Within: Illumination of Soul Through the Light of Torah." In the world in which we dwell we encounter both the uplifting and the depressing, both the ennobling and the discouraging, both light and darkness. It is the conviction of Judaism that the light will ultimately prevail, but even now we may draw upon inner resources, strengthening us in confronting the darkness. A spark of light exists within, which may grow in response to the Word of Torah addressing it from without. In our Shabbat sessions we will encounter Torah as an elixir, a tonic for the soul, in our journey together, toward the Eternal Day of Light. "Through Your light we shall see light." May the Torah touch you, and may you touch your fellow seekers with the light of your very own spirit and soul. See flyer.    
 
Hebrew for Adults HebrewforAdults

Gimme That Ole Time Religion Dr.WolokAdultEd  
Affirming Spiritual Realities in an Age of Science and Technology 
Every other Tuesday at 7:30 pm. Next class June 6.

Revelation, miracle, prophecy and providence - all these are central to the Jewish view of life and reality. Yet, none are found within the scientific outlook governing our world today. Is science the whole story or only part? Are spiritual phenomena real? Join Dr. Davin Wolok at his Adult Education class every other Tuesday, following the 7:00 pm minyan to participate in our lively exploration and dialogue. For more information click here.
