Weekly Torah Study

This weekly class explores each week’s Parasha looking at both traditional and modern teachings that provide a deeper understanding of Judaism’s fundamental beliefs and how they impact on our daily lives.

Here are some comments participants have made about Rabbi Mann’s Torah class.

“Rabbi Jason's approach to Torah study is very thoughtful and engaging.   His preparation is just the right mix of depth and variety, and the class itself is a lively discussion that always seems to end too soon.” Gail

“Our Torah study offerings: erudition, soul, praxis, community.  I admire your humility, too. Deeply grateful.” Nadia

“Rabbi Jason Mann has made Torah come to life.  Each week, our study group meets and discovers the beauty of the Torah portion of the week.  It surely provides learning, discovery, sharing, an abundance of ‘hmmmm’ moments.  And, our mutual discovery with our wonderful teacher, has created a community that is so nourishing.  This learning anchors my week.  I highly recommend the experience.” Andrea

“Rabbi Mann’s ‘Exploring Your Life Through Torah’ is a profound and inspiring gift. Learners of all backgrounds and all levels are gently encouraged in thought provoking rich interactive study. Wonderful.” Diane

“I just want to drop you a note letting you know how much I  enjoy your Torah study sessions.  I appreciate the thoughtful way in which you gather commentary on a particular week's Torah portion, add your own comments, and pose questions to the group.  Your prior experiences as a physician add depth to your views.   You are a skillful facilitator, one who  conducts the sessions with respect and inclusivity toward all points of view.  All in all the experience has been enriching.  It carries me through the week. I feel fortunate to be a part of the experience.” Joanne
