This program is suitable for people who are 2nd and 3rd Generation that want to connect with a warm, supportive group while learning how to preserve and share your family's Holocaust story. In the 18-week workshop led by trained professionals, you will receive valuable insights from workshop discussions and you will learn how to assemble story fragments and slices into one coherent story. Your family’s story can then be preserved for this and future generations.

Saturday Morning
Parshah
Discussion
Each
Shabbat
at 9:00am, a group of Bet Torah congregants gets together to discuss that week’s Torah portion before services. Members of the group take turns each week leading what is always a lively and informative discussion. A wide range of Torah knowledge is on display as every participant beings his/her own perspective & insight to the conversation. Coffee and cake help animate the exchange of ideas. No one knows too much or too little to participate. Please join us for this fast half hour of Torah conversation. We meet in the small conference room & look forward to having you share your thoughts & ideas.
