The Passover Haggadah

"V'higad'ta l'vincha — and you shall tell your child."  The Rabbis took this injunction, along with the elements of the Passover offering, and turned it into a recipe for an evening that is half Greek symposium, half primer in Rabbinic Judaism — a roundabout telling of the story of the Israelite redemption from Egypt.   

In this course, we will explore structure, meaning, and melody in the traditional Passover Haggadah and the Seder ritual it orchestrates.

Class taught by Phil Weiss. Six sessions, 9:30-11:00am.
Sundays: January 24; February 7, 21; March 7, 14, 21
Recommended donation: $42.

There will be a Shacharit morning service before each class at 8:30am.

Tea and Torah

tea Better and improved. Tea and Torah, our Tuesday night Torah-study tea-party has moved to a new day. We now meet monthly on the third Saturday of the month at 5:00 pm. In the coming months, we'll be discussing the following Torah portions:

 Jan 16 – Bo
 Feb 20 – Tetzaveh
 Mar 20 – Tzav
 Apr 17 – Achrei mot/Kedoshim
 May 15 – Naso

That's right! You can now see Shabbat off with us. We will be drinking tea (truth in advertising) and discussing the weekly portion as well as whatever other Jewishy topics are on our minds. During the winter months when Shabbat is over early, we will begin with Havdalah, and towards spring we will end with Havdalah. One way or another, there will be tea. There will be Torah. We hope there will be you, too.
