Torah Troop for 3rd-5th Graders
1st and 3rd Shabbat every month at 10:00am
Torah Troop allows families at Congregation Neveh Shalom to move into the main sanctuary while still enjoying youth-oriented activity. At 10:00am, families meet in the main service. After the beginning Torah service, youth join their friends for a lesson on the Torah portion (parsha) of the week with adult leaders, and come back to help lead the Adon Olam at the end of the service.
As always, we end with our community for lunch!
Rabbi Gary Ellison, who was the rabbi at TBS for 11 years, has offered to teach a 10-part class that he offered at Willamette University for all those who feel they would benefit from an introduction to Judaism course.
If you are interested in this course, please contact Rabbi Eli at rabbi@tbsholom.org.
This class will require a serious commitment from students: $200 for TBS members ($300 for non-members) and attendance at all 10 classes. There will be one textbook (Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, Jewish Literacy, $35 new/$8.50 or more used) required for the course.
Needs-based scholarships will be available upon request.
Class will begin on Sunday, January 27 at 11:00 am.
Every Monday night, come together and study our heritage and Torah. No matter what background or affiliation, join together and let’s unite!
Come and join, bring a study partner or you can request one at https://portlandkollel.org/partners/
