HAPPENING THIS SHABBAT
ADULT PROGRAMS

Sat. June 15* 8:45am - Facilitator is Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins - Adult Library

Join us every Shabbat for a discussion of the weekly Torah portion. Through lively exploration of the Torah's many wonderful (and often challenging) stories and themes, we look to understand how we may apply its life lessons to ourselves in the present.
New participants are always welcome regardless of any prior background.
