The Inside story

A class on the weekly Torah portion infused with Kabbalah and Chassidic mysticism.

The Inside Story is a journey into the fascinating and empowering world of the Torah’s inner meanings. Why did the Nile turn into blood, what do the cherubim atop the golden Ark represent, and what is the inside story behind Moses’ mask? Seemingly technical laws—such as korbanot, kosher, ritual purity, festivals, and business ethics—have profound spiritual counterparts. These teachings illuminate the relationships between responsibility and reward, the selfish and altruistic sides of our psyche, and the forces that hold the universe in equilibrium.

7:45 PM on Wednesdays.

This class is open to all adults as a merged continuation of the Torah and Tea Women’s class.

Mitzvah for israel

On Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023, evil invaded our lives: murdering, injuring, and abducting thousands of our brothers and sisters in Israel. Now, millions more stand in harm’s way, endangered by a ruthless rain of rockets or fighting to protect our people on the front lines. 

They are not alone. 

We are one family. The actions of one impact all. Wherever you are, your positive actions cast spiritual protection over us all. Now, Jews worldwide are uniting to fight the spiritual front of this war against darkness. They’re doing just one more mitzvah. You, too, can do your part. 

Stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel.

Do a mitzvah for the recovery of the wounded, the safe return of the captives, and the safety of our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land.

Pledge a Mitzvah!
