This is an ongoing drop in class, which began on Monday, Dec 1, 2025

Weekly Torah study at Cafe Zing! in Porter Square.  Rabbi Eliana will be offering a weekly study of the parashah.  This is a conversational, drop in class--no Hebrew or prior background needed.  Sign up here

Tefilah Talk

12:15 - 12: 45 PM during kiddush following Shabbat morning services in Nissenbaum Hall. 

Dates: February 14th (date change), March 7th, April 18th, May 16th, June 6th, 2026

Rabbi Eliana will be leading a periodic drop-in 30-minute exploration of different parts of our prayer service.  These conversations offer a chance to understand the liturgy more deeply and to notice the ways prayer can shape our inner lives.  We'll meet during kiddush following Shabbat morning services, from 12:15-12:45--grabbing food and settling around a table on the side for a relaxed learning space.  Our first session will be: "U'v'nucho: Tefilah as an Embodied Experience." Sign up here

Exploring Jewish Identity

9:45-11:00 AM on four Sunday mornings in March, 2026

Dates: March 8, March 15, March 22, March 29

Join Rabbi Eliana on Sunday mornings in March for a four-part exploration of Jewish identity--who we are, what we believe, how we practice, and the many ways we belong.  Together we'll reflect on our stories, our choices, and the diverse paths that make up Jewish life today.  This class for adults will parallel some of the discussions that our teens will take on in their B'nai Mitzvah class; individual session topics are listed on the course registration form linked below.  Class fee is $15/session of $60 for the full course (fee can be waived if needed).  Sign up here
