Shabbat / Saturday Mornings

Torah Study

Every Saturday morning, join us for a zoom conference call where we take turns facilitating a discussion of the week’s Torah portion.

Saturdays at 9am
Explore the weekly portion in a warm and welcoming atmosphere where each participant has the opportunity to learn, listen and share. The Torah Study Group provides its members and guests an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Torah in a safe and welcoming community which values respect for different perspectives and civility toward all. We value diverse opinions on the parashah being studied, including those not emanating from Judaism. Please join us in study any Saturday morning; a brief lay-led service follows the study.

The Marty Stein Refuat Hanefesh Healing Service

Is there someone in your life who is ill and needs extra prayers for healing? Have you lost a loved one and want to say Kaddish with your temple extended family? TBESOC has a weekly Tuesday evening service dedicated to Marty Stein z”l who started it to give us that opportunity. The service is a fusion of Hebrew and English, using the weekday prayer book, Siddur Eit Ratzon. All Hebrew is transliterated and has beautiful, relevant explanations of the intentions behind the prayers. Contact Rabbi Joe to be put on our email list.
