The Daf Shevu’i class has been meeting for a few years and is wide-open to new members. We do one page of Talmud a week. Sound slow? Only to those who may have never opened a page of Talmud. The page or daf is pretty dense. We are studying Avodah Zarah, meaning idolatry, and deals with the issues that keep the Jewish people from falling into the trap of false values, goals and aspirations. These are fascinating ideas that inspire spirited conversation, week after week. Contact Rabbi Rank (rafirank@mjc.org) for further information about joining

TBD (ONLINE ONLY IF TAKING PLACE) Controversial topics tend to generate angry exchanges, but not at "A Righteous Mind" discussion. We don't shy away from the controversial, but we've got some ground rules, chief among them, listening to the other side respectfully and answering, if one so chooses, with dignity. Everyone is invited. No need to RSVP. Come take on the big issues, the way the big issues ought to be analyzed.

Kabbalat Shabbat

We recite the last service of Shabbat (Minhah), the first service of the first day of the week (Ma'ariv), and bid Shabbat farewell with wishes that the learning and energy we gained through Shabbat make the upcoming week productive, creative and fulfilling.
