The Spreading Torah Challenge at Shaarei Kodesh
Ignite the Light of Torah, and Let It Spread
Join us for a Five Part series taught by Rabbi David Baum and guest speakers on the origins of Torah, public Torah reading, Torah trope, and the Torah service. We will learn how the rabbis viewed the term ‘Torah’, as an expansive term that connects past, present and future. During the course, participants will also learn practical skills on how to bring Torah reading and study to their own lives.
