Rav Shai is holding a Torah Study session each Shabbat during our summer hours. There are two purposes for the sessions. The first is Torah lishmah, study for its own sake. The second purpose is to introduce congregants to English sources that will be helpful in preparing your own divrei Torah. Texts will be provided both for those on Zoom and those in the chapel. Feel free to attend any or all sessions. Here is the Zoom info.

(Password required. For congregants, it will be included in the weekly password email. If you are not a congregant but would like to attend Torah Study, call the synagogue office at 215.635.6611.)

Congregation Adath Jeshurun, dedicated to the Jewish value of learning for its own sake (Torah lishmah), is excited to announce a partnership with the Orange County Community Scholar Program (CSP). As a partner with CSP, we’ll join a small group of synagogues enjoying the best Jewish learning available. AJ has the distinction of being the first Pennsylvania synagogue to partner with CSP. 

July's list of programs runs the gamut, from a 4-session series on "Israeli Protest Movements" to a discussion "Unravelling Season 3 of Shtisel." You can find details on all of the programs and the presenters at https://occsp.net/current-online-events/.
