A lively group of congregants and visitors gather each Thursday at lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 pm to discuss the week's Torah/Haftarah portion. Rabbi Beals introduces the portion and the conversation takes off — generally exploring issues and insights raised by the portion, often touching on such familiar themes as religious experience, the meaning of ritual or Jewish ethics, but often going in totally unexpected directions. Everyone is welcome - no background necessary - just an interest in learning. You will come away inspired and refreshed.

You are welcome to bring a dairy/pareve lunch with you. Beth Shalom provides the beverages and dessert.
