Weekly Torah study has always been the recipe for deep commitment to the Jewish tradition. This year we have invited some of the best teachers in our community to give a class on the weekly Torah portion. Students will learn a diverse range of perspectives by being exposed to the many faces of Torah.The course will take you from the beginning of Bereishit to the end of Devarim and ensure that you are always prepared for the coming Shabbat Torah portion.
Course details
· The course begins in October 2008 and ends in September 2009
· Week by week, it will cover every sedra in the Torah
· Each weekly class will last two hours, including a break for refreshments
· Classes involve gaining an overview of the sedra, studying traditional and modern commentaries and discovering new ideas and important contemporary lessons
· A timetable of sedra dates, teachers and class titles will appear on our website in September and will be updated as necessary
· You may attend individual classes and pay as you go, or you can sign up for the entire year which will entitle you to request handouts and audio recordings of any classes you may miss
The course begins on Monday 27 October. The opening shiur on the sidrot of Bereishit and Noach will be given by Rabbi Harvey Belovski, a recently appointed LSJS Teaching Fellow
