Join us for Learning for All Ages! Choose from 3 options:

Exploring the Torah of Rabbi Harold Kushner z"l with Rabbi Jim Rosen and Rabbi Debra Cantor (geared toward adults)

An exploration of Rabbi Kushner's radical theology, how it is expressed in the world, and what his legacy asks of us today.

Tour of the Torah with Rabbi Rachel Zerin (geared toward children in Kindergarten through 7th grade; all are welcome)

Join us as we unroll the Torah and take a tour from beginning to end! Find special moments like the 10 Commandments, see how the words paint a picture at the Crossing of the Sea, find the letters of your name, ask all your questions about the Torah scroll, and more!

USY Debate with Jason Kay (for 8th-12th graders)

Time for things to get heated! Ever since Jews received the Torah, there has been debate. The issues have changed, but we have always argued, disagreed, and debated. Teens are invited to join together with Jason Kay for some great food and fun debate about current topics.
