Wednesday Study Group: Winter 2025

Talking About God

Join Rabbi Rachel Schmelkin this spring to talk about God. Drawing from Rabbi Kari Tuling’s Thinking About God, we’ll dive into deep, thought-provoking questions about the divine: What does it mean to say that God created the world? Does God have a personality, or is God an impersonal force? Can God redeem, and are we, as human beings, in partnership with God? This series is designed to be an opportunity for us to wrestle out loud with our own beliefs (or lack of belief) in God.

This session of the Wednesday Study Group will continue to meet virtually at 1:00 pm on Zoom starting February 19.

Early Torah Study

Every Shabbat morning, we begin the day with an informal group at Temple to study parashat hashavua, the weekly Torah portion, in English. Led by one of the clergy, we analyze, question, and reflect on Judaism’s central text. All are welcome — just occasionally or every week — and absolutely no background knowledge or familiarity with Hebrew is necessary!

Saturdays

Gather to read this week’s portion together at 8:30 am
Clergy-led discussion at 9:00 am

Join us in person at Temple, or join us on Zoom!
