Join the MJCC for our Annual Author Series. During 2020, we will be hosting at least one author per month virtually. Please check back soon for a full line up of authors for the season.
Come study and discuss the Bible with Rabbi Isaak at Neveh Shalom.
According to our sacred tradition, the holy letters of the aleph-bet were used to bring the world into being. Through stories and teachings from Kabbalah (ancient mystical interpretations of Torah) and Midrash (ancient commentaries on the Torah), we will explore how these letters infuse our Torah and liturgy with deep, rich meaning. Please join us on this journey to delve into the inner meanings of each individual letter that make up the words of our sacred writings.
